“Good vibes are nature’s way of telling you that you’re in the right place or with the right person.” – Bruce H. Lipton
Last weekend’s Griffith Business Chamber awards was a stunning evening, spent with some of Griffith’s finest businesses and businesspeople. Well done to all of the winners, but a big call out to Multiquip who won the major award sponsored by Griffith City Council. There are so many wonderful businesses doing great things in our community, from supporting residents as we get a little older, to businesses operating environmentally sustainable practices, ensuring our community is well set up for the future. The economic benefit so many businesses bring to our City is enormous, but they also support our local sporting and service clubs, who in turn make our City a better place to live. Well done again to all nominees and winners, please keep up the great work and our community will continue to support you all.
This week has been rather hectic, with meetings in Sydney, advocating for a better share of the pie for Griffith and our region. We continue to push for a better outcome in regard to water buybacks and housing enabling infrastructure funds, these are Griffith’s two biggest hurdles at the moment in my opinion. We cannot accept to be forgotten and disregarded as we have been in the past, we must continue pushing our case and fighting for our region.
Last week Council released our investment prospectus and also had a presentation on our local economy. There were some really good figures released, and I encourage everyone to grab a copy of the prospectus, it highlights many opportunities that our region continues to see and that we must continue to work towards.
Stay safe, stay well and above all else be kind to each other and yourself, bye for now.
Doug Curran
Mayor
