CHAMBER NEWS
THE OFFICIAL ONLINE PUBLICATION
FOR LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY
ISSUE NO 1 SEPTEMBER 2014
FROM THE
PRESIDENT
Welcome to the official
Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce and Industry
CHAMBER NEWS.
The transformation of
Liverpool into a major
regional city for South West Sydney is
becoming increasingly more evident as cranes
dominate the Liverpool CBD landscape.
Within two years there will be an additional
2000 residents in the Liverpool CBD alone. By
mid 2030 one in every 2 residents in Sydney
will live in Sydney’s West.
I have been a member of The Western Sydney
Airport Alliance since it’s conception and
am pleased to see our efforts drive forward
the development of a Western Sydney
Airport at Badgerys Creek. The members
of the Alliance have always believed that
a major employment catalyst is needed in
Western Sydney to increase the number of
job opportunities and improve the work-life
balance of the regions two million residents.
The need for a strong voice for the Liverpool
business community has never been more
important and we have been making changes
to accommodate the new demands placed on
our Chamber.
We will be increasing the Executive to eleven
Board members to enable greater member
participation to better serve our business
community.
We are strengthening our partnerships with
government at all levels.
We are growing the Chamber with concerted
efforts to increase our visibility within the
business community.
This year we have already seen our
membership increase at unprecedented
rates, as more and more businesses realise
that Liverpool needs a united voice to drive
the infrastructure developments so needed
to ensure maximum benefits to business
in Liverpool. The Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce & Industry provides opportunities
for business people to be fully informed on
what’s happening not only in Liverpool, but
also South Western Sydney and New South
Wales as a whole.
Liverpool Chamber of Commerce is proud
to partner with the NSW Government
with the Local Launch of the Get Healthy
at Work initiative. The program aims to
improve the health of working adults and
prevent lifestyle-related chronic diseases by
supporting employers to promote health in
the workplace. The program offers a range of
