“I will work alongside the dedicated members to ensure that their views are highly represented and expressed amongst the city, in order to provoke on-going development.”

Key responsibilities conducted by the new chairman will include the proposal of initiatives direct liaising with top city agencies, as well as driving regional business opportunities.
