Community Enterprises

PICC operates social enterprises on Palm Island so that the community can enjoy products and services like those on the mainland and to provide choice for shoppers.

Serving the community with new clothing and new and second-hand apparel, household items and appliances at low prices is the main goal of the Community Store. It continues to connect the community with a range of mobile devices and other tech accessories and assistance with setting them up.

Palm Automotive and the Fuel Station provide vehicle maintenance and repair which is unavailable elsewhere on Palm Island, saving the community the time and expense of shipping their vehicle to the mainland, as well as a choice of fuel retailers for Palm Islanders. The Mechanic also has a workshop in Townsville for Palm Islanders on the mainland and all who want to support a Palm business.

All profits from our community enterprises are returned to the Palm Island community through PICC’s businesses and services. Our enterprises also offer training and skills development to their staff.
