At a high level, Business Improvement Districts (BID) are essentially a partnership, a means of governance, collaboration and funding. But how are they formed, how do they work and what impact can they have on Sydney and wider NSW? What are the practical considerations for implementing BIDs?
Understanding BIDs and their critical ingredients to success, Jace Tyrrell, Chief Executive, New Sydney Waterfront Company, shared with our guests his unparalleled expertise in the subject area. A Q&A followed Jace’s insightful address facilitated by Princess Ventura, Regional Director - NSW, Urbis.
