The City of Perth is hosting a Business Development Workshop to help the retail and hospitality sector prepare for the busy season and make the most of an expected surge in visitor numbers.
The three-hour workshop will be held on Wednesday 12 October.
City of Perth Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas said the City is the place to be this Summer, with plenty of events planned in the CBD.
