On Thursday the 4th June 2015 during a session of the House of Representatives of the Parliament of NSW, the Member for Macquarie Fields (Mr. Anoulack Chanthivong MP) acknowledged the role the Ingleburn Chamber plays in the local community.

Following is the full transcript taken from Hansard of the acknowledgement:

"INGLEBURN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Page: 66

Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields) [4.31 p.m.]: Local businesses are an important part of our community. Last week I had the pleasure of meeting with President Jim Jelich, Secretary Phil Occhiuto and the executive team of the Ingleburn Chamber of Commerce. They are long-term residents of our local community and care very much about its future. These are successful, dedicated people in my local area providing not only employment but also ideas on how to make our community a better place. Their contribution is not limited just to commercial enterprise; members of the chamber are also involved in a number of local services, charities and community events. I very much look forward to working with the chamber for many years to come as their local member and take this opportunity in the New South Wales Parliament to acknowledge the role the chamber of commerce plays in making my local community a better place."

On Friday the 6th March 2015 at Wests Leagues Club, Leumeah our Chamber hosted a luncheon with the Premier of NSW, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Western Sydney, Member for Manly, and Leader of the New South Wales Liberal Party, the Hon. Mike Baird MP, as its guest speaker.

The Premier spoke on "Rebuilding NSW" to an audience of 230 attendees.

The Premiers talk was extremely well received, and feedback from the event has been all positive.

Our Chamber acknowledges the assistance of the Member for Campbelltown, Bryan Doyle MP, and Rachel Elliott from his staff, in the events planning.

We also acknowledge the assistance of Campbelltown City Council and Wests Leagues Club in ensuring the event ran smoothly and was a huge success.

Finally, we acknowledge the generosity of Robert Giunta of Web Video Productions in providing a video record of the event.
