REGULATORY ROADSHOW TO HOLD 2023 FINALE IN KIAMA

Department of Enterprise, Investment and Trade 2 mins read

Hospitality and Racing is capping off a stellar year of industry engagement with the final Regulatory Roadshow of 2023 to be held at The Pavilion in Kiama.

 

This year, senior executives from the government regulator have visited Newcastle, Bathurst, Fairfield and inner Sydney to meet with hundreds of industry leaders across pubs, clubs and the racing industry.

 

Acting CEO Tarek Barakat said Kiama was a fitting final stop for the year given the Greater South Coast area has a plethora of pubs and clubs that would welcome thousands over the summer.

 

“Our Regulatory Roadshow series has been a huge success in 2023, enabling our teams to get out to the regions and speak directly with industry about the issues impacting them and their businesses,” Mr Barakat said.

 

“Ahead of the upcoming busy holiday season, we’re excited to be ending this year’s industry engagement in the beautiful town of Kiama, and look forward to meeting with and hearing from local businesses.”

 

Mr Barakat said the Regulatory Roadshows are a great way for managers and licensees of hospitality venues to network and learn more about what Hospitality and Racing does.

 

“As well as a chance to engage with our senior executive, you’ll hear from a range of speakers, participate in interactive panel discussions and find out more about Hospitality and Racing’s services through our information booths,” Mr Barakat said.

 

“There’s no better way for us to engage with industry than face to face at events like these.”

 

More than 100 industry leaders are expected to attend the Regulatory Roadshow on the South Coast, marking close to 600 attendees across the five events in Newcastle, Bathurst, Fairfield, inner Sydney and Kiama.

NSW Education Minister needs a plan for community preschools

12 March 2026 The union representing teachers in early childhood education and care in NSW and the ACT calls on the NSW government to guarantee the future of community preschools by immediately boosting funding to lift the pay and conditions of teachers and educators in the sector. NSW Deputy Premier and Education Minister Prue Car on 11 March told a Budget Estimates hearing that the state government would review funding for community preschools as recommended by the Fair Work Commission (FWC). But the Minister also claimed, despite clear evidence presented by the union and accepted by the FWC, that community…

Dicing with death: survey reveals 40 per cent of young workers get no safety training

A new survey of young workers reveals almost four in ten respondents (39.8%) received no safety training when they started a new job while more than half (50.2%) never had their work health and safety (WHS) rights explained to them. Unions NSW, which conducted the survey, said it revealed a dangerously lax attitude to safety among employers. “Parents, employers, and policymakers should be concerned. But most importantly, young workers need to hear this message: if your boss is not giving you safety training or explaining your rights, they are dicing with death,” said Unions NSW Campaigns Officer, Caitlin Marlor. “We…

Dartbrook coal mine extension short sighted, reckless

In response to the NSW government’s approval of the extension of the Dartbrook thermal coal mine in the Hunter Valley, the Australian Conservation Foundation’s national climate policy adviser Annika Reynolds (they/them) said: “The decision of the Minns government to allow the Dartbrook thermal coal mine to keep mining coal until 2033 is reckless and short sighted. “In 2025, Dartbrook coal mine entered voluntary administration after accruing close to $50 million in losses, raising concerns about the mine’s capacity to pay its workforce, pay its taxes and royalties, or set aside sufficient funds to meet its rehabilitation obligations. “The Minns government…
