The Port Douglas Chamber of Commerce will meet this week to discuss their objectives for the next 12 months after a busy tourist season meant its resources were stretched to the limit, stalling progress in the first months of the financial year.

One of the points of focus declared at the Chamber's AGM in September was to deliver on the recommendations of the Melbourne Business School's 'Revitalise Port Douglas' report.

It has been 235 days since the report was presented at a public meeting, and while some efforts have been made by a handful of businesspeople and other key stakeholders within the community to discuss the formation of an Economic Development Group, publicly it appears there has been little tangible progress made towards implementing the report's recommendations.

But Chamber president Phoebe Kitto said she was hopeful some momentum could be achieved in the coming months.

"I'm pleased that in the last couple of meetings I feel like we're starting to take more shape in regards to where we're heading with that.

"I certainly hope that now we've moved into the quieter season that we'll have some of those members able to dedicate more time with getting it moving."

According to Ms Kitto the same applies to the Chamber's committee members.

"As far as the Chamber goes, it has been a difficult one over the busy period.

"We have broad goals but we need to break it down and we need to discuss an action plan with regard to how we're going to achieve that.

"Those (goals outlined at the AGM) were some of the goals of the previous committee. We've got some new people who have joined the committee now and they've got some ideas as to what they'd like to see the Chamber work on."

Ms Kitto said despite Chamber committee members being busy with their own businesses, their volunteer status should not be used as an excuse for inactivity.

"If you're a Chamber committee member you have to be prepared to take on some portfolios and make some things happen, otherwise you are seen to be doing nothing.

"I think we've got some really good, motivated members on the committee at the moment."

Ms Kitto said the first priority for the Chamber is to push for the securing of Regional Development Australia Fund money for the Port Douglas Waterfront project.

She added that the Chamber will also be pursuing State Member for Cook to uphold his election promise of building a roundabout at the Captain Cook Highway/Port Douglas Road intersection.
