⚓ MIA Sydney Regional Members’ Meeting - what a great afternoon!

A big thank you to White Bay 6 Marine Park for hosting and for taking us on a tour of their impressive site... with that Sydney Harbour backdrop, what a workplace view! 🌇

Members came together to hear sponsor updates, share business updates, and - perhaps most valuably - connect over the common challenges facing our industry. We also had a timely update from Simone Collins on the Crown Lands leasing framework, a topic of significant importance to many of our members.

These regional meetings are a reminder of the strength of our community when we get together in person. Looking forward to the next one in Adelaide in 2027!
