BUSINESS NSW ABANDONS WOLLONGONG

The State’s largest business group has abandoned any interest in the future economic success of Wollongong. 

“By sacking, without notice its effective regional manager on the eve of the Easter holiday, Business NSW has thumbed its nose at thousands of small and medium employers who rely on strong local representation,” Cr Tania Brown said.

“I call on the state business chamber to come to Wollongong and explain to our broader community how they intend to have a Central Coast based employee represent the diverse local business community. 

Last week Business Illawarra joined other local stakeholders to advocate for the region at a Jobs and Employment Roundtable with the NSW Government where regional  road and rail connectivity to Western Sydney was highlighted.

“Business Illawarra plays an important role in advocating for the business community and to successfully deliver for this community local knowledge is crucial.

“As a result of this organisation abandoning Wollongong it is now more important than ever for our Council to have new energy leading Wollongong’s future,” Cr Brown said.
