City of Ryde
The City of Ryde played an instrumental part in getting Ryde Business Forum together in 1993, foreseeing the need for an umbrella Chamber of Commerce in the region to support the growing number of large organisations moving into the area and provide services to businesses of all sizes throughout the city. It has been a strong supporter of the Forum and its role in being a catalyst for business in Ryde. RBF works closely with the City on a number of economic development issues including arranging and supporting events for NSW Industry & Investment; key RBF members also have roles on Council's Economic Development Advisory Committee.
RBF thanks the City of Ryde for its ongoing support. Visit the City's website for more information on doing business in Ryde.
