A big thanks to Hawaiian's Mezz for having our Imagine Vincent Pop Up event yesterday.

It was great to talk to Mt Hawthorn community members, with some interesting ideas and views shared. Some hot topics were bike paths, safety of roads, nature playgrounds and supporting local business.

We'd also like to thank the team at ILKA for hosting a conversation at their premises on Oxford Street. Local manufacturers, business and community got together to discuss what they see for the future of Vincent. ILKA certainly know how to put on a good event!
