| R C C I W A Appoints Chief Executive Officer | 01 Mar 2012 |
Kitty Prodonovich has been appointed the inaugural Chief Executive Officer of The Regional Chambers of Commerce of WA (RCCIWA). Ms Prodonovich, who was previously the President of the Kalgoorlie Boulder Chamber of Commerce and the RCCIWA, is currently a board member of the Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC) and a member of General Council of CCIWA. “The RCCIWA is an organisation with 34 individual regional Chambers as members who in turn represent over 6000 businesses. Being able to work with and support the business communities of regional Western Australia is an exciting prospect and I feel privileged to have this opportunity. We all know how dedicated and passionate the business communities of regional Western Australia, however sometimes they feel isolated. We are able to provide a broader network and voice for both the individual businesses and their respective Chambers.” Ms Prodonovich stated. “Having owned and operated two businesses in Kalgoorlie-Boulder I understand the challenges and opportunities that present themselves. One of our tasks as an organisation is to ensure that the issues that affect regional businesses are being heard by all decision makers and every level of Government; because we all know that an effective dynamic business community is the engine room of any thriving town or city. It is also reassuring for each individual business in regional Western Australia to know that not only are they a member of their own local Chamber, but they are also a part of a state-wide regional network. RCCIWA President Ron Mosby said of the appointment, “a CEO is the natural evolution of a growing organisation. However in particular, having Kitty take up the inaugural role is a huge benefit to the organisation because of her history and passion for regional Chambers .” The RCCIWA was established in 1999 and represents regional 34 Chambers from all of regional Western Australia. The organisation has a Memorandum of Understanding with the SBDC and has a strong working relationship with CCIWA. |

| $39.2million To Improve Telecoms In Regions | 31 Jan 2012 |
Portfolio: Regional Development, Science and Innovation Telstra selected to implement the Regional Mobile Communications ProjectProject funded through Royalties for RegionsScience and Innovation Minister John Day and Regional Development Minister Brendon Grylls today announced Telstra had been awarded $39.2million in Royalties for Regions funding under the Regional Mobile Communications Project (RMCP).Mr Day said RMCP would provide Western Australia’s regional, rural and remote communities and businesses with access to a self-sustainable and affordable mobile voice and wireless broadband service. “Under the project, the WA Government and Telstra will deliver about $106million in value to deploy new mobile communications infrastructure at 113 sites along major roads and highways across the State, and in several regional communities,” Mr Day said. “This will increase mobile phone coverage in the State by up to 22 per cent while significantly boosting access to next generation broadband services. “The Liberal-National Government’s investment has attracted more than double its value and is a very effective use of State funding to ensure regional, rural and remote communities have access to superior communication services similar to what we have in the metropolitan area.” Mr Grylls said the RMCP would enhance the safety and convenience for people living, working and holidaying in regional WA. “The contribution of $39.2million in Royalties for Regions funding is a significant investment towards improving mobile telecommunication coverage and services that support sustained regional development across the State. It also builds on the $94.5million already invested through the Community Safety Network,” Mr Grylls said. “The Regional Mobile Communications Project will not only benefit individuals and businesses, it will have a huge impact on the delivery of State Government and emergency services, especially in communities prone to bushfire and road trauma. “Public safety in the regions will be boosted with enhanced emergency radio and mobile telecommunication coverage, which is a great outcome for regional WA. “For example, firefighters and emergency medical services can use wireless broadband to download vital information while out in the field and be able to remotely access and transmit information in real time.”

Ron Mosby has various business interests and has an accountancy practise in Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The Goldfields capital City has been his home for 40 years.

Ron commented “I look forward to my new role as president and working with chambers throughout regional Western Australia to ensure they have a consolidated voice. I am confident RCCI can make a positive contribution to the sustainability of the regional business community. I think we have a role in working with all levels of Government and the corporate sector to underpin commercial opportunities that otherwise would be lost through lack of a truly regional business lobby. There will be times when RCCI and the Chamber of Commerce & Industry WA through their combined efforts can make a noticeable difference to business related matters for the whole of the State. That’s a priority position for me to place the regional business community in by collaborating with those who can assist in making a real difference to the wellbeing of the regions”. |
