Virtual Chairman's Lunch
The Future of Western Sydney
You are invited to the first Sydney Hills Business Chamber Virtual Event...
With the economic effects of COVID-19, what does that mean to Australia and our local business community.
Join us online to learn what this will mean for Australia.
Western Sydney is creating a once in a lifetime economic boom with Airport and Badgerys Creek Aerotropolis that is bringing together infrastructure, businesses and knowledge-intensive jobs. With the completion of Norwest Rail-link and a future planned by the Commonwealth government $5.3 billion investment in the Western Sydney, we are building on natural and community assets and developing a more contained Western City District with a greater choice of transport and services aligned with growth over the next 20 to 40 years.
You will hear from Alex Hawke MP, Theo Psychogios (Partner Deloitte Economics and Commercial Advisory), and Sonja Palic (Hills Chamber)
To assist, the chambers of Western Sydney have aligned their focus to work together under the newly formed Chamber Alliance of Western Sydney (CAWS). Through CAWS, Western Sydney business owners are set to have a united voice in urban planning and development.
What you can expect at this event:
