Bendigo Bank, Epping Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank, Hunt & Hunt Lawyers and Cyrius Media Group hosted and sponsored a big EOFY community bash at Epping Club on the 5th Wednesday in June. 
The event was attended by 150 guests and the opening remarks were made by Federal Member for Bennelong, John Alexander OAM.  Special guest speaker Rosemary Bishop from 3Bridges Community, presented a new model of strategic partnership and shared value between local community organisations, business and Government agencies. 
The Bendigo Community Bank Branch model exemplifies community engagement and the idea of the event was to promote and encourage more partnerships and interaction between local organisations. 
The Article in the Northern District Times explains...

Cyrius Media Group hosted a Granny Flat Information evening in the City of Ryde, to promote local businesses and affordable housing as well as offing alternatives for investors in the Sydney property market. With only limited advertising in the local paper and a bit of word of mouth over a four week lead-up period, the room was packed with over 70 people. The interest in Granny Flats is certainly very high at the moment with Sydney's property and rent prices the way they are. 

We organised a panel of experts, including a representative from City of Ryde Council, a Granny Flat Builder, Lawyer from Hunt & Hunt North Ryde, Mortgage Broker, Real Estate Agent, Rental Property manager and an accountant to all offer their unique perspective and expertise on Granny Flats as an investment, cash flow generator and handy space addition to any suitable property.

There were plenty of good, relevant questions from the audience and lots of excellent answers from the Q&A panel, which was held after the main presenters had finished. 

Granny Flats are a great option for affordable housing, medium density development and property investment. After such a successful event, we will be holding more in other Local Government Areas and returning to Ryde to host another one within the next three or four months. 

Thanks to Club RydeX for hosting the event, to all the presenters for their valuable contributions and of course to the attendees that made the night the success that it was.    

Cyrius Media Group is proud to be involved with all the great work done by The Rotary Club of Ryde.  Our Creative Director Stefan is a member of the Club and this year has had the role of PR Director.  It has been a big year for the Rotary Club of Ryde as it opened a school for 1,000 pupils in Afghanistan, with the assistance of the Indigo Foundation and Ali Yunespour, a local Afghan-born student who came to the Club looking for a way to help the people in his home country.

The article today in The Sydney Morning Herald is a great way to spread the news of what has been achieved.

The latest issue of NETT magazine is the very first issue under the new publisher, Globe Publishing.  The January 2011 issue features Google on the cover and is a bold new direction for the popular award-winning publication.  The magazine is aimed at small to medium businesses trying to make their way through the digital media jungle, with advice, case studies and articles all about Web design, Web development, search engine optimisation, managing a business and all those other topics vital to keeping small business abreast of the latest trends.  2011 looks to be an exciting year for the magazine, which also celebrated its 3rd birthday at the launch.

Things are evolving so fast these days and small businesses have so many new opportunities to capitalise on technological solutions to bring their entrepreneurial ideas to life.  NETT magazine’s tag-line has changed from “Inspiring businesses online” to “Better business advice” emphasizing the practical, action-based angle the magazine is taking.

Cyrius Creative Director, Stefan Sojka is very proud to have remained on the writing team through the transition to the new publisher and looks forward to the year ahead; to writing his regular opinion column and reaching the Australia-wide business readership with his ideas and advice.
