Upcoming Events | Business Western Sydney

Join us at GPOP!25, Western Sydney’s premier forum for precinct leadership and collaboration in the riverside heart of our city on Friday 27 June.

This conference brings together senior stakeholders across government, business, and the community to showcase the latest opportunities across the Greater Parramatta and Olympic Peninsula (GPOP).

The region between Parramatta and Olympic Park is transforming rapidly. Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1 is now complete, Stage 2 is backed by a $2 billion NSW Government investment, and Metro West is well underway.

Now it’s time to hear from the leaders driving this change.

This event will cover:

Unlocking Major Infrastructure Opportunities
We’ll examine the NSW Government’s ambitious transport rollout, examine delivery models, construction timelines and lessons from previous projects. We'll also discuss the exciting potential for place-making and activation around the Metro box sites at Parramatta and Olympic Park.

Getting to Know the Neighbours
We'll dive into new and emerging models to build community and social capital in high-density living. This discussion is critical as GPOP continues its trajectory as a city of towers, and apartment living and renting become the norm.

Putting the pop into GPOP
The GPOP region is becoming a jewel of Sydney’s visitor economy, thanks to rejuvenated artistic and cultural institutions, recreational facilities, and major sporting events and shows.

From new hotel accommodation in Parramatta to sizzling ‘Little India’ in Harris Park, we ask the CEO of Destination NSW what’s next for a region that is vibrant, diverse and uniquely its own.

Towards 2050: Navigating Growth and Identity
A quarter of a century since the “best ever” Olympics, GPOP stands at a crossroads. Alongside a bold infrastructure vision and economic ambitions come growing pains: including congestion, construction fatigue, threats to environmental sustainability and the challenge of nurturing a vibrant local culture.

How do we ensure GPOP evolves into a truly world-class region without losing its soul?

Precinct Leadership and Collaboration
With major projects underway, GPOP!25 provides an unparalleled platform for cross sector collaboration. The role of partnerships between government, community and industry is more important than ever.

We’ll hear from leaders as we explore what it takes to deliver thriving, integrated places in a region whose future is evolving and bright.
