Our local businesses are the backbone of the Peninsula economy. They create jobs, bring our communities together and make our region such a wonderful place to live.

I'm inviting all local business owners, operators and entrepreneurs to join me for a Small Business Roundtable - an evening of great conversations, new connections and an opportunity to have your say.

I want to hear directly from you. What's working? What pressures are you facing? And what could government do better to help your business thrive?

I'll also share some of my ideas for backing local businesses, supporting local jobs and building a stronger Peninsula economy. But most importantly, I want to hear yours.

Thursday 5 November
6-8pm
Campaign Headquarters, 187 Main Street, Mornington

Come along, enjoy a wine and some nibbles, connect with other local business owners and help shape the conversation about the future of our local economy.

As a local business owner myself, I know the challenges and rewards of building a business and creating jobs. I want to make sure the voices of our local businesses are heard where decisions are made.

Let's get together, share ideas and talk about how we can make the Peninsula an even better place to do business.
