The Greater Narellan Business Chamber is proud to present our Guest Speaker for the July 2022 General Meeting:
Tess Salmon | General Manager – External Affairs and Communication, Western Sydney Airport
One of the biggest developments our region has seen, the Western Sydney International Airport is expected to create thousands of jobs and opportunities for local businesses. The airport is expected to support almost 28,000 direct and indirect jobs by 2031, five years after the airport opens.
As Western Sydney Airport General Manager of External Affairs and Communication, Tess will be speaking to our members and guests about the following areas:
- Progress of the airport
- Major construction packages
- Key features of the airport
- Final terminal render designs/flythrough
- Community engagement undertaken by WSA
- Timeline of works
This will be an informative presentation about a project that will no doubt positively impact our region through endless business opportunities during the project and after the airport is complete.
We hope that you will join us as we learn more about this exciting development.
