What is EMRBATA?

The Eastern Macedon Ranges Business and Tourism Association (EMRBATA) is a not-for-profit interest group comprising local business operators whose primary task is to promote business and tourism in the Eastern Macedon Ranges.

Whether the businesses are traditional shop front, home based, trade, professional or industrial the EMRBATA wishes to give all such businesses an opportunity to network and be involved in initiatives which ultimately benefit local business and the Eastern Macedon Ranges community. EMRBATA aims to provide a forum for its members to inform and be informed, whilst also aiming to provide an environment which encourages residents and visitors to utilize local business.

Members are kept informed via email and social media about the activity of the EMRBATA committee of management, correspondence from the Macedon Ranges Shire Council (MRSC) and information pertaining to other relevant business and tourism stakeholder groups.
