Western Business Leaders Breakfast - hear about investment plans for the West

About this event

With a reputation as a great business environment in a much-loved location, major public and private investment continues to add to the capability, growth and attractiveness of the City of Charles Sturt.

Therefore, it’s no surprise that developer Pelligra, headed by Ross Pelligra (Chairman) and his brother Paul Pelligra (CEO) have made a commitment to investment in South Australia. Ross Pelligra is also something of a sports nut and is redeveloping the old Findon basketball stadium with a $20m redevelopment and rebranding of the Adelaide 36ers Arena.

New developments, including the $53 million Coopers Stadium renovation in preparation for the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™, will also provide a great opportunity to showcase world-class sporting facilities that will attract thousands of domestic and international fans.

Join us for our latest Western Business Leaders Breakfast where Ross Pelligra will share with us why South Australia and why Charles Sturt. Joining Ross will be Jenny Mann, General Manager, Acquisition and Development, Events South Australia, who is playing a key role in the delivery of the Women's World Cup.

Jenny will provide a snapshot of some upcoming unmissable event experiences including Illuminate Adelaide, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 and the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023. She will highlight the collaborative multi-stakeholder approach in hosting major sport events as well as the opportunities for community engagement and legacy that come through these events.

We will also share with you an update on what’s happening at Hindmarsh and Findon, and what current and future investments and opportunities exist in the City of Charles Sturt.
