Meet our new President: Caroline Raper

A hello from our new President: on calling the northern Gold Coast home, and her focus for the year ahead.

Meet our new President: Caroline Raper

Hello! I’m so excited to introduce myself as the new President of the Gold Coast North Chamber.

When I joined the committee just over a year ago, I never imagined how much I’d come to enjoy being part of this amazing community. From helping bring our events to life to meeting so many inspiring local business owners, it’s been an incredibly rewarding journey, and I’m genuinely excited for what’s ahead.

The northern Gold Coast isn’t just where I work. It’s home. I live in Upper Coomera, and both my husband and I run our own businesses here, so I understand the highs, the challenges, and the importance of having a strong local business community behind you. I’m a proud ambassador for our region and truly believe there’s something special about the people who choose to build businesses here.

If there’s one thing you’ll learn about me, apart from being Scottish/Australian with an English accent, it’s that I’m passionate about making a positive difference. Together with our fantastic committee, my focus is simple: to listen, understand what matters most to our members, and create opportunities, connections and experiences that genuinely add value.

So please, don’t be a stranger! Come and say hello at an event, send me a message, or reach out for a chat. This Chamber is here for you, and I’d love to get to know you and hear how we can continue building an even stronger business community together.
