Join us for a free business breakfast with new CEO Tony Brun, to hear about his vision and plans for the future of the City.

Mr Brun joined the City in February, coming from a role as Head of Planning at Australia Pacific Airports Melbourne where he oversaw the planning functions, in addition to a $15 billion program that included key precinct and terminal developments. He has previous experience in the local government sector as a former Chief Executive at the City of Greater Geraldton, and also previously held the role of Chief Strategy Officer at Perth Airport.

Business Grants update

The inaugural round of the Cockburn Grants to Support Local Economic Development closed on March 26th. We received an overwhelming response, and assessments and allocation of funds are still being finalised. The quality and number of applications were very high.

I have spoken to many businesses about the next round of grants, which were intended to open in late April, however as the initial response has been so immense, there will not be another round this financial year.

Applications will reopen next financial year and you will be informed when this occurs via the Business eNewsletter.
