2026 Member Sundowner

Join us at Committee for Perth’s Member Sundowner: Insight 2026, on Wednesday, 11 March 2026, a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, exchange insights, and chart a course for the future. ⁠

⁠The momentum is clear. 2025 marked a milestone year for Committee for Perth, including the 2050 Summit: Championing a Plan for Perth, which brought together more than 450 leaders and changemakers to explore the future of our city.

As we continue to progress the Plan for Perth, the evening will outline key initiatives and future priorities, along with opportunities for members to be involved in our work throughout 2026.

We are pleased to welcome Nicole Lockwood, Chairperson at Infrastructure WA, who will speak about how Perth can harness the energy, enthusiasm and creativity of leaders across governments, business, communities and individuals to sustain this momentum and make a meaningful difference to our shared future.

This members’ event is a valuable chance to connect, exchange ideas, and reaffirm our shared commitment to collaboration, partnerships and Perth’s long-term success. Following formalities, we invite you to stay and enjoy canapés, drinks and network with fellow members.
