This year organisers have moved the cocktail night for finalists from mid-week to a Friday night.
"If people want to stick around and celebrate a little bit, and we'll have some music out at Taronga Western Plains Zoo... so we'll make it a celebration for all of those people who have made the finalists," Mr Wright said.
The chamber president offered thanks and congratulations to all the businesses who submitted entries to this year's awards.
ALSO MAKING NEWS:
"We understand the time of business owners is at a premium, so to actually go through that process of completing an entry does take some time," Mr Wright said.
"So we want to thank all of those businesses that have entered, whether they become finalists or winners or otherwise, we hope they got something of the process of doing it."
The 2019 Regional Australia Bank Rhino Awards gala night will be held on October 18.
