Balancing Demand and Costs Amid Celebrations
As the AFL Grand Final public holiday approaches, concerns are rising about the challenges it poses for businesses in Victoria. Paul Guerra, Chief Executive of the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, highlights the increased demand for restaurants, cafes, and pubs.
Many establishments that choose to remain open face extra staffing costs, making it a challenging environment. Guerra advocates for reconsidering the public holiday, stating it’s not the ideal day for such an event. However, he notes a potential benefit, as some city dwellers may venture to regional Victoria, offering a boost to those areas.
