Please come along to my first Town Hall of 2026 to shine the spotlight on some of the key issues affecting our Canberra community.
While all questions and topics are welcome, this Town Hall will focus on hyper local ACT-specific issues, such as support for local businesses impacted by light rail and other major project construction, and the need for strong social infrastructure including aquatic facilities and access to aged care, healthcare services or respite care.
Our guest speakers will be the new CEO of the Council of Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA) Skye Cappuccio and CEO of the Canberra Business Chamber Greg Harford.
Quarterly town halls are part of my ongoing commitment to being accessible: providing updates, getting feedback and listening to your concerns.
If you are unable to make it in person, the event will be streamed live.
I want to hear from you as part of these events so please submit and upvote your questions on slido at this link. As always, there will also be questions from the floor.
