The results of a survey conducted by the Alice Springs Chamber of Commerce show businesses would be happy to see the development of a uranium mine south of the town.

Chamber of commerce chairwoman Julie Ross says 220 members were consulted and 42 responded to the online questionnaire.

Ms Ross says questions covered issues such as environmental concerns, staff poaching and accommodation availability.

She says she was amazed that 93 per cent of those who responded were happy to provide goods and services to a uranium mine.

"The comments were based around the water supply, Alice Springs' water supply and also the dust, particularly in light of the storms that we've had recently, then they all basically said that if those issues were resolved they were quite happy for the mine to go ahead," she said.
