Maroondah Homebiz is a business networking group for Maroondah’s expanding small and home-based business sector. The group meets on a monthly basis to provide networking opportunities for members and to hear guest speakers covering issues relevant to business and the local community.

Tonight’s Annual General Meeting elected the officebearers for the next twelve months and it is great to see Homebiz continuing so strongly, with there being several new faces on the committee.

The presentation this evening was from the City of Maroondah to discuss the strategic direction of Ringwood and Croydon as designated activity centres under State and Council planning policies. Details were provided on recently completed projects, such as the recent construction of footpaths within the residential areas of central Ringwood and the transformation of Ringwood Street. In addition upcoming projects were also discussed, including the redevelopment of the Ringwood Town Centre and the need for a commitment towards Ringwood Station to ensure an accessible and safe transport interchange.

Maroondah Homebiz meets on the first Tuesday of each month at the Coach and Horses Hotel in Ringwood, for further details please visit www.homebiz.org.au.
