The meeting will be held at the Parkes Services and Citizens Club at 6.30pm.
Chamber President Geoff Rice said the meeting is a great opportunity for local business owners to have a united voice.
“We want businesses to come along to this meeting to ensure we are heard,” Geoff said.
“The RMS has done exactly what they said they would as far as community consultation goes.
“A consultant has been working with local businesses, and they have been given questionnaires in regards to the proposed plans.
“It’s not to say we will get everything we ask for, but if we don’t put our concerns forward we can’t turn around and say we weren’t given the opportunity. Now is the time to speak up.”
The Chamber’s main concern is to ensure traffic has ease-of-access into Parkes from the bypass including links to the industrial estate.
The Chamber will hold their AGM at 7pm.
