Ms Nash will present a ‘University Development Update’ which will outline new contacts and collaborative opportunities with CSU in Port Macquarie for businesses in the region.

“I look forward to updating the local business community about how Charles Sturt University in Port Macquarie is expanding and what the future holds for its continuing engagement with the local community,” Ms Nash said.
