Congratulations to the category winners Talent Co Dance Studio; Outback Initiatives; Romano's Pizzeria Connolly; Logsys Group; Grants Empire; Sparkle Dental; Vortec Installation; employee of the year, Bec Moyle of Quality Printer Cartridges; Blond Gorilla; Couple-It; and the Pottery Playroom. The business leadership award was presented to Paul Filing, a former member of this parliament, who once represented the electorate of Moore, for his long-standing contribution to the local business community through the Aussie Home Loans franchise.

I would like to acknowledge the outstanding business advocacy work of CEO Clive Haddow, Office Manager Karen Roberts, and executive committee members David Curry, John Willett , Russell Poliwka, Brian Corr, Paula Anderson, Martin Smith, Patrick Vuaillat, Debbie Lanario, Derek Joy, James Filing, and Ray Foster.

The business community in my electorate is vibrant and strong as a result of strong private investment, entrepreneurship, and advocacy work of the Joondalup Business Association.
