Working together for a better Western Sydney

No matter the type, size or maturity of your business, Western Sydney has a magnificent economic outlook, driven by diversity, population growth and investment.

In realising the region’s full potential as the engine room of growth for Greater Sydney and Australia, businesses and the community must come together with local and state government to collaborate on region specific issues by changing roadblocks into opportunities and managing strengths to achieve economic and social success.

To help your business grow, our people can discuss uniquely Western Sydney matters with you, including:

• What the new Badgery’s Creek airport means for your business in terms of domestic and international market opportunities

• How your organisation will deal with, and make best use of, an additional 1 million residents in Western Sydney over the next 15 years

• How your business is positioned to take advantage of the growth and development of connecting infrastructure such as the Sydney Metro Northwest

and WestConnex developments or proposed M9 Orbital road connecting Sydney’s North and South, or our urban centres and new business precincts, such as health and education precincts in Westmead, Liverpool and Penrith

• How your business is working with education, TAFE and university institutions across Western Sydney to gain access to the best candidates

• Where you can find human capital and finance resources to support growth and development, for example expanding into new export markets.

Successful organisations seek knowledge of the next disruptive innovation, investing the time and money to explore relevant options available to them. As businesses grow and mature, the complexity and rigour of what is required in compliance increases greatly.

We help you ask the right questions for maturing and developing:

• How do you retain your best talent and get the most out of your workforce?

• Do you over-rely on a few key people to deliver your core business?

• Should you be seeking external professional advice, and how secure are your systems and data?

• How can you make sure the external audit of your business provides assurance for the organisation and external stakeholders, shareholders and markets?

• How do you make sure your business is maximising its tax efficiency?

• Where will your customers and markets be in 10 years’ time?

• How will your industry operate in 10 years’ time?

• What’s holding you back from taking your business to the next level?

We have solutions from risk management with foresight and an informed capacity to act on near, emerging and looming risks to opportunity creation, including necessary change so significant that access to new finance, either through private equity or looking at a merger or acquisition with an entity, helps achieve the future vision.
