Box Hill Chinese community

Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (13:45): Last week it was my pleasure to sit down to a meal with the community leaders of business and volunteer groups from the Chinese community in Box Hill. We shared food and we shared meaningful discussions about strengthening local businesses, fostering economic growth and ensuring every voice in our community is heard. There are challenges and there are opportunities, but strong communities are built on collaboration, and it is vital that every business and cultural group has a seat at the table. I really appreciate the insights and the time that I spent with them, and I look forward to continuing our work together.
