Identifying and enhancing economic development opportunities in Tasmania's Northern Midlands.

Free membership in the Northern Midlands Business Association is open to all people who have an interest in enhancing business in the Northern Midlands, or who either have a business location there, or who reside within the region, or where the Northern Midlands is an important aspect of their business or community activity and contribution. The NMBA also receives valuable support from Northern Midlands Council. Paid membership is also available that provides exceptional value and opportunities to promote your products and services to our more than 600 other registered business members.

SCOPE

From the rocks of Ben Lomond to Launceston Airport, and towns like Longford, Evandale, Ross, Perth, Campbell Town, and others from the mountains to the sea, Tasmania's Northern Midlands has  a diverse range of thriving businesses that cover all industry types and market categories.

Grow

Our Business Plan has a wide range of projects to achieve our goal to help local businesses prosper and grow, and improve the economic prosperity across the Northern Midlands.  Our Business Directory enables all businesses to promote themselves, find other businesses and get found by customers.

The Northern Midlands Business Association is a not-for-profit incorporated association with a volunteer Board elected by members. The Board coordinates and manages the wide range of projects in the Association's Business Plan, secures funding and fosters new initiatives. The current Board donates their time to provide a wealth of experience as diverse as the businesses of the Northern Midlands.

The NMBA is constantly wanting to expand the size and diversity of its Board of Management.  Might you be interested in contributing a couple of hours a month to join the team? Nominate yourself now and be invited to an NMBA Board meeting to see if you would like to join - there’s no obligation.
