Our June Business After Hours was held in conjunction with Ryde Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Ivan Petch, Councillors and management of the City of Ryde welcomed nearly 90 people and gave members and guests a taste of what's in story for Ryde over the next few years.

Michael Whittaker, General Manager, presented an overview of the Draft Management Plan. On hand to answer questions were managers Sue Weatherley, Roy Newsome, Kim Woodbury and Louise Gee. Information about the Plan is available on Council's website - click here for a direct link to the relevant page.
