Working together to advance Melbourne’s future

As a proud Melburnian, I’m excited to join an organisation that brings together leaders from across business, government, academia and the community to help shape our city’s future.

I’ve started by meeting with federal leaders in Canberra alongside the Committee for Capital Cities, discussing the critical role Australia’s capital cities play in driving national prosperity and productivity. These conversations are vital as Melbourne continues to grow and evolve.

Closer to home, we welcome Premier Ben Carroll and the Victorian Government’s decision to delay the proposed Work from Home legislation until July next year. We continue to advocate for policies that support business confidence, workforce participation and a strong Victorian economy.

I’m also pleased to share that the Committee for Melbourne is partnering with The Age to deliver the Melbourne Assembly from 19-21 October. This city-shaping event will bring together leaders, ideas and debate focused on Melbourne’s future.

Thank you to everyone who joined our recent Workplace Relations Forum delivered with EML and Gallagher, and to our members who continue to contribute to important conversations across our network.

Looking ahead, we’re preparing for our upcoming Living Cities Forum satellite event with the Naomi Milgrom Foundation, hosted by Hassell, exploring how cities can be designed and governed with care.

I look forward to connecting with many of you in the months ahead and working together to advance Melbourne’s future.
