**In The Press** Lord Mayor of Perth Addresses CXO Luncheon

31-Aug 2009

On Thursday the 27th of August, 2009 The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor of Perth Lisa Scaffidi addressed a full room of guests at L7 Solutions CXO Luncheon. Lisa was elected as the first female Lord Mayor of Perth in October 2007. She is interested in economic and strategic planning issues within the City of Perth. Aside from the various internal Committees’ Lisa is a current Committee Member on the Heirisson Island Sculpture Park Committee and the West Australian Public Member on the Australian Press Council

Speaking on the topic of "Putting Capital into our Capital City" Lisa touched on the Perth City Councils 'Light up Perth Project”, a tourist helipad and the value of projects such as the Northbridge Piazza.

Perth’s skyline provided a fitting backdrop for the Lord Mayor, who said Perth had “lost the plot” if it did not create new space in the next boom, potentially on the foreshore, for companies to build headquarters. Ms Scaffidi also highlighted how important it was for people to support initiatives such as small bars, increased public transport and daylight saving if they want them to succeed. “All the things that people say they want and then when they get the chance to have them, they don’t go for them,” she said.

Matt Sullivan, CEO of L7 Solutions commented on the success of the Luncheon. “As a WA owned and operated company we are focused on what’s happening in our own back yard. The CXO Luncheon with The Lord Mayor provided the perfect forum for our clients to network and stays informed. The afternoon was a great success and we look forward to our next Luncheon in 2010.”
