Last month we welcomed the inaugural 2024 Women in Sport Diploma of Governance cohort 🌟 These 23 remarkable women, all serving on boards of national sporting organisations and national sporting organisations for people with disabilities, are set to enhance their governance capabilities over the next 12 months, led by trainer Annabel Rattigan. An initiative of the Australian Sports Commission, delivered by the Institute of Community Directors Australia, the program aims to support the Australian sport sector by increasing the pool of accredited women board members nationally, creating connections between women in the sector, addressing structural barriers to leadership roles, and promoting governance practices that champion diversity and ethics in our communities. The Diploma of Governance is a highly acclaimed, practical qualification for current and aspiring board directors. For this cohort, we tailored the course syllabus with case studies exploring good (and not so good) examples of national sports governance. We look forward to working with the Commission to advance a fairer, more inclusive sector. Could your organisation or sector benefit from a bespoke governance training program? 🤔 #WomenInSport #Governance #Leadership #OurCommunity #InclusiveSport #WomenLeaders

Labor will enact further regulatory reforms and fee-reductions to ensure Canberrans and visitors have more opportunities to enjoy our city and town centres at night. Already we have made significant commitments to support our growing night-time economy. This includes a new 2,000-seat lyric theatre as part of the Canberra Theatre transformation and an 8,000-seat venue for live music and entertainment as part of the Canberra Convention and Entertainment Centre precinct. We know that a thriving nightlife in Canberra relies on our local venues and hospitality businesses. These are the places that attract visitors and give local artists and musicians the opportunity to work and contribute to Canberra’s nightlife. If re-elected, Labor will back our local small to medium venues that support and showcase artists across the city by extending a 50 per cent liquor fee reduction to venues up to 350-person capacity. Labor will also back our smaller cafes and restaurants by providing an automatic 50 per cent liquor fee reduction for venues up to 150–person capacity, extending the current initiative for venues up to 80-person capacity. This will save our valued local businesses up to around $3800 per year and will encourage more businesses to open. To better connect artists and venues to take advantage of this scheme, Labor will also build an artist registry to help owners and managers to book local artists and musicians for their venue. We will encourage more events in Canberra through a new plan to make more additional public areas available to event organisers. This plan will identify suitable sites for markets, busking, food trucks and other activities, while improving access and guidance for event approvals. Following the establishment of the City Centre Entertainment Precinct with fit-for-purpose noise standards, Labor will also examine our town centres and other areas across the ACT that are suitable to be defined as entertainment precincts. This will support more hospitality venues businesses and expand Canberra’s nightlife across the Territory.
