As 2022 came to a close, Business Sydney was proud to host its annual Year End Drinks reception in Sydney with our special guest, the Hon Matt Kean MP, NSW Treasurer and NSW Minister for Energy.
At this event, Treasurer Kean reflected on 2022 and the great work that Sydney's business community have done in navigating through the pandemic and the lockdown phase of Covid, and his positive thoughts looking forward to 2023.
Thank you to our host, Clayton Utz, for their hospitality and sharing their spectacular view on the balcony. It was a great wrap up to a busy year.

Matt Kean entered Parliament in 2011 and spent his early years advocating for stronger mental health policy.
Elevated to the NSW Cabinet in 2017, he was Appointed Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation in 2017, then appointed Minister for Energy and Environment in 2019 and appointed Treasurer in 2021.
He is focused on safely re-opening the economy and getting people back to work, and intends to invest in our economy and our people today to deliver a stronger, more prosperous, more sustainable future tomorrow.
An outspoken critic of “climate denialism” he has campaigned for greater and national action on climate change, arguing it’s not only good for the environment but it’s also good for our economy.
He has committed to increasing the size of the NSW National Park estate by over 400,000 hectares by the end of 2022 and in 2020 delivered the biggest renewable energy policy in Australia’s history.
