THE QUEST FOR THE MULTIVERSITY WAS THE FOCUS OF THE INAUGURAL ECONOMIC & CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT SUMMIT I HOSTED IN BROADMEADOWS TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIFELONG LEARNING AND JOBS.

Another key objective was to connect our community to one of Australia’s greatest nation-building projects, the National Broadband Network.

Federal Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, delivered the keynote address describing the importance of building stronger communities for jobs and growth.

When the City of Hume is connected to the NBN, Broadmeadows will benefit greatly from the opportunities it will deliver, proving talent is not determined by demographics.

The Economic and Cultural Development Summit convened leaders in thought and deed from around Australia to turn the vulnerabilities of this diverse and disadvantaged area into strengths. In so doing, we have established a strategic framework for building lifelong learning, jobs and opportunity. The executive director of the Australia Institute, Dr Richard Denniss, spoke of the need to remain flexible and responsive to the challenges of the 21st century.

In the digital age, the survival of the fittest means the survival of those who are best positioned to adapt to meet challenges and embrace opportunities.
