CEO MESSAGE On behalf of the Canterbury Bankstown Chamber of Commerce (CBCC), we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his team on their remarkable election victory. This result reflects the trust the Australian people have placed in your leadership and vision for the future.

We proudly acknowledge and congratulate our esteemed patrons, the Hon Jason Clare MP and the Hon Tony Burke MP, on their strong reelection results. Your continued service to the people of Canterbury-Bankstown and Australia is deeply valued and admired.

CEO

MESSAGE

We warmly welcome and congratulate Mr Zhi Soon, the newly elected Member for Banks. We look forward to working with you to support local businesses and drive economic and community growth across our region.

We also extend our sincere commiserations to all candidates who were not elected. We recognise the effort and dedication you brought to the campaign and thank you for your contribution to our democratic process.

Looking ahead, we are excited to host our Annual Gala Dinner on Saturday, 29 November 2025, at the Grand Ballroom, Bankstown Sports Club. This special evening will celebrate enterprise, leadership, and community spirit.

CBCC remains committed to working with all levels of government to advocate for the prosperity and wellbeing of our vibrant business community.
