Further, as Premier he launched the Greater Sydney Commission, which has fundamentally recast the political and economic balance between Eastern and Western Sydney and he funded new health and education facilities across this growth region. However, Mike Baird’s most significant fights on behalf of Greater Western Sydney were still to come …. and sadly remain unfinished. His determination to move the Powerhouse Museum to Parramatta caused massive offense to some inner city arts elites, who continue to resist the argument that taxpayers of the West also deserve great buildings and cultural institutions. Similarly, his prioritisation of stadia upgrades in Olympic Park over Moore Park will be long remembered by our community. Since he returned to the private sector to assume a senior position at National Australia Bank, Mike has continued his advocacy for the west – including his role in leading NAB’s regional engagement strategy in advance of the relocation of 3,000+ jobs to the bank’s new campus-style home at Parramatta Square.

2018 BOOMTOWN! Project of the Year & Category Winner for Tourism Inglis Riverside Stables & The William Inglis Hotel

Sitting at the heart of the Warwick Farm precinct, the Inglis Riverside Stables and William Inglis Hotel complex has not only proved to be a winner in racing circles, but since opening late last year, quickly established itself as one of Western Sydney’s popular hospitality, leisure and corporate destinations.

Named after the company’s figurehead and founder, the venue offers state-of-the- art stabling and sales facilities, which are complemented by equine themed 5-star accommodation and an extensive range of conferencing facilities. The William Inglis Boutique Hotel boasts a rooftop bar and pool deck overlooking the famous racecourse, and is managed by AccorHotels, the largest hotel operator in the Asia Pacific. Adjoining the hotel is an integrated, air-conditioned parade and sales area accommodating up to 1000 guests. It features stabling for 800 horses, permanent hospitality suites, rubberized bitumen and synthetic turfs, and a ringside dining service.

This $140m investment has delivered one of the country’s finest equine auction houses. When combined with its purpose-built events centre and hotel, has set a new benchmark when it comes to tourism, hospitality and conferencing in Western Sydney, attracting thousands of national and international visitors to the region.

The Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue is proud to recognise the winners of BOOMTOWN’s Project of the Year Awards. Congratulations to the respective projects on winning their nominated categories. The awards celebrate achievement in innovation and leadership in project design and delivery, by the public and private sector, and recognise major projects that have positively impacted on community, social, and economic outcomes. The current building boom in the region, both in infrastructure and property, will see many more candidates come forward in subsequent years as the development cycle gains pace, but we are delighted with the cohort on show in Dialogue Patrons 2018. The finalists were selected following consultation with the Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue’s Partners, collaborators and broader regional network and the eventual winner was chosen in consultation with our esteemed Dialogue Patrons.
