The Local Buying Foundation has provided funding to the Port Hedland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHCCI) to help develop an Online Business Directory. This project falls under the Industry Promotion and Economic Development category.

PHCCI has a history of supporting local businesses with their printed business directory, but they are now moving to a digital version. This shift is more sustainable and provides businesses with a modern platform to promote themselves. The Online Business Directory will offer free basic listings for PHCCI members and options to promote videos, capability statements, local discount codes, and event promotions.

The directory will be part of the PHCCI website and will link to an Online Learning Platform, making it a useful tool for businesses. This digital approach will help Port Hedland businesses reach more people, encourage local spending, and provide an affordable and eco-friendly way to market their services.
