Port Macquarie Chamber of Commerce president Michael Mowle said vaccination was the most important element of the government's transition plan.

The roadmap, which charts the way back, takes into account the Doherty Institute COVID-19 modelling and Commonwealth Department of Treasury economic analysis.

The plan contains vaccination thresholds.

"It is in everybody's interests to get vaccinated and I think it's pretty logical that the way ahead is to get vaccinated," Mr Mowle said.

He urges businesses to hang in there and stick to the rules as the state remains in lockdown in an attempt to stop the spread of the Delta variant.

"Don't be afraid to reach out to get support," Mr Mowle said.

Businesses can go to the Port Macquarie Chamber of Commerce website for information and advice on available support.
