Panel topics

Introductions and insights from key city leaders and decision-makers.

Unpacking audience perceptions of Bankstown.

In conversation with Eamon Waterford, CEO of the Committee for Sydney.

Bankstown is uniquely positioned, geographically already a leading connector in the eco-system of NSW.

How can Bankstown leverage a $1.3 billion health precinct, a newly opened $350 million Western Sydney University Campus, a multi-million revamp of Bankstown Airport that has contributed over $1bn to the NSW economy, and a redeveloped city centre?

What will these precincts focus on in ten years’ time, what are they connecting to both inside the LGA and both outside and what infrastructure is required to ensure their success?  

Speakers (more to be announced soon): 

  • Daniel Jarosch, CEO, Aeria Management 

We know that the metro will be a game-changer for Bankstown. What will the metro unlock for residents, local business, and visitors of today and tomorrow? How can we improve active transport in Bankstown? How can buses be used more effectively to plug gaps in the public transport network? 

As a part of this discussion, the Committee for Sydney will reflect on the findings from our new report Plan B: Better Buses for Sydney.

Renowned as the city of burgeoning beginnings, Bankstown boasts the second-largest cohort of registered small enterprises in New South Wales, numbering 37,000 trailing only behind the bustling Sydney City CBD.

How do we encourage local business to grow and attract others through Bankstown’s unique offer and assets, and balance this with upcoming renewal? Who makes up the future workforce and what kinds of spaces and places do we need to provide for them?  
 

Four local leaders and changemakers present their visions and dreams for their city.
