The Hospitality and Racing industry is concluding a busy year of widespread engagement with its final Regulatory Roadshow of 2023 set to take place at The Pavilion in Kiama.

Throughout the year, key figures from the government regulator have embarked on a journey, visiting prominent locations such as Newcastle, Bathurst, Fairfield, and inner Sydney. They have engaged with hundreds of industry leaders spanning pubs, clubs, and the racing sector.

Acting CEO Tarek Barakat emphasised that Kiama serves as a fitting last stop for the year, given the abundance of pubs and clubs in the Greater South Coast area, poised to welcome thousands over the upcoming summer.

“Our Regulatory Roadshow series has witnessed tremendous success in 2023, providing our teams with the opportunity to connect with regional stakeholders and address the issues impacting their businesses,” remarked Mr. Barakat.

“As we approach the busy holiday season, we are thrilled to conclude this year’s industry engagement in the picturesque town of Kiama. We look forward to meeting and hearing from local businesses.”

Mr. Barakat highlighted that the Regulatory Roadshows offer an invaluable platform for managers and licensees of hospitality venues to network and gain insights into the workings of Hospitality and Racing.

“In addition to interacting with our senior executives, attendees will have the chance to listen to a variety of speakers, participate in interactive panel discussions, and discover more about the services offered by Hospitality and Racing through our information booths,” added Mr. Barakat.

He further emphasised, “There's no better way for us to engage with the industry than face-to-face at events like these.”

The Regulatory Roadshow on the South Coast is anticipated to draw more than 100 industry leaders, bringing the total number of attendees to nearly 600 across the five events held in Newcastle, Bathurst, Fairfield, inner Sydney, and Kiama.
