Only one month into 2022, and our event and activities calendar looks already very busy. As we continue to plan, our events program will be dynamic to ensure we remain adaptable as the year unfolds. Our members will certainly have many opportunities to network, engage and contribute to Greater Perth’s future this year.

Last month at our Annual General Meeting (AGM), we farewelled Kate Lamont AM as Board Chair and welcomed Tony Joyner into the role. Tony is a Partner at Herbert Smith Freehills, one of the founding members of the Committee for Perth, and has taken a keen interest in our research and activities over the past 15 years.

Sharing the findings and recommendations of The Future of Work report has been a highlight since its launch in September. The ways in which we will work, the industries we will work in and the technology that we will be working alongside is a fascinating topic and has generated a lot of interest.

September saw the successful launch of the output report from our latest research project The Future of Work: Equipping WA and its people to lead the Nation in the future world of work.

The Committee for Perth would like to congratulate Chief Executive Officer Marion Fulker on her appointment as a Member (AM) in the General Division as part of the 2021 Queen’s Birthday Honours List for significant service to urban planning and infrastructure development.
