It is our intention to bring the key players(both from government and the private sector) and their representatives to the table to establish ways in which local business interests can best be served.  This will be your opportunity to challenge government agencies about involving local SME's in the procurement process, as this has long been the proclaimed intent of Government.



Make no mistake our views will be influential, and become increasingly important as this massive project - the largest in the European-Community gets under way.  It's going to happen, so let's make sure the planners include our philosophies for an improved structured community and do not sacrifice this opportunity to simply meet the increasing demand for housing.  Once new towns are built and the infrastructures are in place there will be no going back!
