City of Karratha Economic Forum THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2014 HYATT REGENCY PERTH Sponsorship Prospectus comingofage.com.au An initiative of the Karratha & Districts Chamber of Commerce and Industry
JOIN US The Karratha and Districts Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KDCCI) will present the City of Karratha Economic Forum on Thursday, 6 November 2014 at the Hyatt Regency in Perth. The City of Karratha Economic Forum will tell the story of our regional coming of age and celebrate our metamorphosis from mining town to a vibrant, regional Australian city. It will excite lively discussion and debate about what is the next step in our journey towards achieving the WA Government s Pilbara Cities vision for a stable, resident population of 50,000 people by 2035. It will also explore the emerging industries that have the potential to drive sustained economic growth and diversifi cation across the Pilbara region including tourism, agriculture, renewable energy and education. But most importantly it will put our region, its people and possibilities, at the forefront of some of Australia s leading political, business and strategic minds. The forum is expected to attract more than 200 Perth-based decision makers/infl uencers whose demanding work schedules do not allow time for regional travel commitments. Colin Barnett MLA Premier; Minister for State Development No-one who has visited the City of Karratha in recent years, however briefl y, could deny that a massive transformation is taking place. This transformation has been led by major investment from the State Government into infrastructure, services and land, and I have been delighted to see private sector investment swiftly following suit in sectors including hospitality and residential property, The ultimate goal of this investment is to ensure Karratha is not just a rewarding city in which to work and trade, but also an attractive, vibrant and more affordable place for families to call home. On July 1 this year, the Shire of Roebourne offi cially became the City of Karratha, a name more befi tting this growing city s position as a regional centre in Australia s north, and a celebration of progress so far. Karratha s transformation is far from over and the City of Karratha Economic Forum will assist those looking to learn more about opportunities to invest in this transformation.
