Traders in Boronia will be able to connect and network with each other at an event hosted by the Boronia Revitalisation Board on 16 June.
The networking event is being held at Boronia Progress Hall, from 5.30pm to 7pm, to help traders develop and build connections in the local business community.
Chair of the Revitalisation Board and Bayswater MP Jackson Taylor said it is an important part of the board’s work in supporting locals and “in particular our vibrant business community.”
“I’m so proud of the State Government’s plan and work to revitalise Boronia. There’s nearly 20 projects complete, underway or about to start to help build a better Boronia,” he said.
“This networking event funded by the State Government will be an opportunity to bring them together and to better understand how we can further work together to improve outcomes locally for businesses.”
The Boronia Revitalisation Board was established in 2021 as a part of the Victorian Government’s suburban revitalisation program to introduce targeted investments and programs to support the local community.
Mr Taylor said he would be attending the event, which is supported by Knox City Council.
“Over 50 local Boronia businesses benefitted from the $150,000 Business Façade program funded by State Government and with more funding just announced in the recent State Budget to continue our important work,” he said.
“I’m keen to work with the Board and community to see how else we can partner with businesses to support them and our community to thrive”.
Results from a previous survey on local experiences during Covid-19 and the support needed for traders will be presented at the event.
