The landscape of the Pyrmont Ultimo precinct continues to evolve and change especially after the unprecedented period of the pandemic. Recently the focus on transport and how it connects local businesses, residents, visitors, and workers to Pyrmont/Ultimo has become an important issue for the community.

The chamber has launched the Integrated Transport Report which will create a vision and a voice for local businesses and the community to collectively advocate for challenges and opportunities that face the precinct from a transport point of view. The outputs of this process will provide data that we will communicate to local government, state government, decision-makers, and other key stakeholders.

This will allow local government, state government, decision-makers and other key stakeholders to be better informed about how integrated transport systems create a better place to live, work, and play.Complete the survey & go into the draw for a chance to win a $1000 Visa card
