Registered businesses regardless of their size looking to connect with other businesses can register into the platform, either in a buyer or supplier role. It is important to note that suppliers must be local to be accepted into the platform.
We recognise as "Local Business" those making a significant contribution to the Gladstone region economy, by way of: 1) Having a physical presence in the Gladstone Local Government Area (LGA) and businesses or projects where the majority of the workforce resides within the Gladstone LGA; and 2) Businesses or contractors which are not owned locally but provide goods, services and/or labour that are primarily produced or supplied within the Gladstone LGA. For more information, visit the Queensland Local Content Leaders Network (QLCLN) “Defining Local Report”.
As of December 2023, there is no cost to participate in the platform for any user. This will change in 2024 depending on factors yet to be defined, such as your GEA Membership Status and your categorisation as a buyer or supplier. Please contact us for more information.
