I am delighted to report to the House about an important organisation within my electorate of Spence. The Salisbury Business Association is one of a number of business groups within my electorate of Spence. It represents over 400 small- and medium-sized businesses in the local area. As my electorate office is located in Salisbury one can understand why I might have a bit of a soft spot for them. In fact, they have shown nothing but a willingness to engage and have made me feel extremely welcome since I moved in upon my election to this place earlier this year. On 12 October I had the pleasure of attending the association's AGM. I look forward to working alongside them over the coming year, and the years to come.

I would like to give particular mention to the association's Executive Officer, David Waylen, who has been in the role since 2016. I would also like to give mention to its current board which includes Marty Edwards, Chair; Kamal Dahal, Deputy Chair; Lee Hannon, Secretary; Cathy Perry, Treasurer; Sergeant Jackie McDonald, SA Police representative; Toni Anne Smallman, Community Representative; and board members Patsy Kellett, Joe Balawejdger, Melinda Fremlin, Dr Rajnish Garg and Julie Pope. Congratulations to you all. I look forward to seeing you and catching up soon.
