Bringing Wyndham’s business voice into the conversation about Melbourne’s growth.
On Thursday 22 October, Committee for Wyndham joined forces with Committee for Melbourne to bring members together for a discussion about the opportunities and challenges facing our growth corridors.
The event opened with a keynote address from Professor Peter Dawkins, Chair of the West of Melbourne Economic Development Alliance (WoMEDA) and Emeritus Professor of Economics at Victoria University, who provided a strategic perspective on the region’s economic future and the opportunities to unlock its potential.
Next was a panel discussion bringing together leaders from across infrastructure, aviation, multicultural affairs and vocational education to explore the priorities that will shape the west’s next chapter.
The panellists were:
- Louise Perry, Chair, Multicultural Victoria
- Jack Herbert, Senior Manager, Strategy & Commercial, Transurban
- Matt Marais, Exec GM Aviation, Melbourne Avalon Airport
- Wayne Butson, CEO of Tafe, VU Tafe
The event provided an opportunity to connect across our networks and consider how business, government and education can work together to support the future of our growing communities.
Thankyou to all who attended and took part in the conversation. We look forward to strengthening these connections into 2027 and beyond.
