📸 Some fantastic images captured by Dave Ross from Vero Photography Perth at Friday night's Sundowner at the Joondalup Contemporary Art Gallery.

Supported by the City of Joondalup - Government, the evening was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the conclusion of the Innovate Joondalup 2026 programs while connecting with local business leaders in a unique and creative setting.

We thoroughly enjoyed hearing from Daniel Kingston - Mayor of Joondalup about the importance of programs such as Innovate Joondalup and the ongoing support for our local business community. Surrounded by inspiring artwork, delicious canapés and great company.

A special thank you to Tom French MP for his support on the evening, JBA Board Member Grant Bowen for speaking on behalf of the Association, and JBA President Doreen Sharma for her ongoing leadership and support. We also extend our thanks to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a success.
