As we enter February, it’s time to embrace the opportunities for the new year while celebrating our incredible community and natural beauty that make Nimbin so unique.
With the year in full swing and children settling back into school routines, the Nimbin Chamber of Commerce continues its mission to support our business community and strengthen the connections between local enterprises, councils, and regulatory bodies. Together, we aim to foster resilience, collaboration, and growth for the benefit of all.
Nimbin is, without question, a tourist town.
People worldwide are aware of our existence, drawn by the unique culture, stunning natural beauty, and rich experiences we offer. Visitors come to experience Nimbin's vibrant lifestyle, embracing community and authenticity.
Nimbin is surrounded by natural beauty that visitors and locals alike can enjoy. From the lush greens of our subtropical environment to iconic landmarks such as the Nimbin Rocks, Mount Nardi, Minyon Falls, Blue Knob, Lillian Rock, and Sphinx Rock, our village is surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.
Nimbin is home to a rich network of artists and craftspeople who bring vibrancy and authenticity to our town. Art in Nimbin is not just a creative outlet; it allows members of our community to benefit from the unique authenticity of their works, creating opportunities for meaningful connections and economic growth.
From pottery, painting, and weaving to jewellery and sculpture, Nimbin’s creative heartbeat is a source of pride and inspiration. Exhibitions at the Town Hall – such as the seasonal Spring, Autumn, and Summer Arts show – provide platforms to showcase these talents and attract visitors from near and far.
We proudly welcome artisans who wish to display and sell their works on the streets of Nimbin. This openness enhances the character of our village, providing visitors and locals with access to one-of-a-kind creations while supporting the livelihoods of talented craftspeople.
We embrace and practice wellness, from massage, acupuncture, spiritual healing, yoga, and cacao ceremonies. Nimbin offers diverse practices that cater to holistic health and well-being.
Our long-standing cannabis culture further reflects this ethos as we continue to champion its healing potential through oils, tinctures, and topicals.
Entertainment is another cornerstone of life in Nimbin. With venues like the Nimbin Town Hall, Nimbin Bush Theatre, and various community halls, we are privileged to host talented musicians and performers. Our thriving arts and entertainment scene brings people together and provides unforgettable experiences for residents and visitors alike.
The Chamber recently produced the Nimbin Business Survey, which is doing the rounds to ascertain the needs and priorities of local businesses and the broader community. This initiative aims to provide valuable insights into how we can better support our members and foster sustainable growth in the village. We encourage all local businesses and community organisations to participate in the survey. Your feedback is vital in shaping the direction of our efforts and ensuring that all voices are heard. Take the survey here.
Nimbin Roots Festival
In addition, The Chamber will host a meeting with Lou Bradley, Founder of the Roots Festival, and local businesses on Saturday March 22nd, to explore ways to collaborate to maximise the opportunities this exciting event will bring to the village. This meeting is an essential step toward ensuring that the festival benefits visitors, the local community, and businesses, creating a vibrant and prosperous experience for all.
The Chamber is funding a public speaking workshop featuring practical and creative activities in a fun, safe, and inclusive environment. The workshop will be held at the Nimbin Information Centre on Thursday, February 27, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM AEDT.
What truly sets Nimbin apart is our community. Through support and collaboration, we’ve built a way of life that embraces everyone, offering spaces for all beliefs and lifestyles. This inclusiveness fosters a strong and supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
The Chamber of Commerce is here to champion our collective interests, but we can’t do it alone. We encourage all business owners and community members to get involved by attending meetings, joining committees, or simply sharing their ideas. Together, we can continue to create a vibrant and resilient community that benefits everyone.
Let’s embrace the opportunities ahead and keep building on what makes Nimbin unique – for ourselves, our visitors, and future generations.
