The Griffith University - Gold Coast Bulletin Business Confidence Index will monitor changes in business confidence in the last quarter and help determine attitudes related to the year ahead.

The monitoring and indexing of levels of confidence held by business proprietors enables the impact of economic events and Government policy to be effectively tracked and communicated among decision makers.

We are seeking your help by completing this simple but important three-minute survey.

The results will also be sent to relevant government representatives and will be published in Gold Coast Bulletin Business News. Respondents may volunteer comments for possible inclusion in this coverage.

I thank you in anticipation for your assistance with this initiative, which is being undertaken to facilitate effective indexing and communication of confidence levels for the benefit of business operators on the Gold Coast.

You may complete the short survey on-line by clicking the link below or downloading the survey here and faxing it to poll facilitators Spence Consulting on (07) 5531 3646.

If you have any questions please contact Spence Consulting managing director, Mr Rod Spence at businesspolls@spenceconsulting.com.au or by telephoning (07) 5531 2664.

Please submit responses by end of business Friday May 7, 2010.

You participation is greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Professor Michael Powell
