As the year draws to a close, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our members for their contribution to another successful year. Your ongoing commitment and engagement are what make our association strong and impactful.
One of the biggest issues of the year in the ACT was of course the Legislative Assembly election, and we were pleased to not only ensure that housing was the most talked about issue in the campaign, but we also gained commitments from the government for a number of reforms.
A special thanks goes to our ACT & Southern NSW Regional President, Jason Bisa, and Vice President, Matthew Hall, for their outstanding leadership throughout the year. Likewise, our appreciation extends to the members of the ACT & Southern NSW Regional Executive Committee.
I would also like to acknowledge the work of our Wagga Branch Chair, Marty Keogh, and the Wagga Branch Committee members. This year we saw a return of the Riverina Housing Awards, along with continued and effective advocacy by the branch on behalf of members in the region.
A huge thank you to all our partners who have supported us throughout the year. Your involvement is invaluable and helps us deliver the events that our members rely on.
HIA offices and HIA Insurance services will be closed from midday Friday 20 December 2024 and will reopen on Monday 6 January 2025.
We wish all our members a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We look forward to working with you all again in the new year!
