Business Illawarra has a long‑standing track record of bringing together senior decision makers for our annual Federal Budget Luncheon. In 2026, we are evolving this flagship event into a high‑level Federal Budget & Future Economy Briefing, expanding the focus beyond the Budget itself to explore the broader economic forces shaping the future for businesses.
This briefing will convene senior business leaders from across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands, including major employers, investors and industry stakeholders, for timely insights and informed discussion.
Designed for business leaders navigating an increasingly complex economic environment, the program will provide practical insights into:
- The Federal Budget’s implications for business and industry
- National and global economic trends influencing local conditions
- Housing economics and impacts on supply, workforce and productivity
- Key economic policy settings and budget measures impacting Australian businesses
- Economic outlook and indicators relevant to business confidence, investment and growth
This event will equip business leaders with the knowledge needed to understand current settings, anticipate change, and position their organisations for the future economy.
Speakers and agenda coming soon!
