Oversight of the high profile (media) and Vice-Regal moments of the official Australia Day in Sydney programming. This required close work with event companies, venues, suppliers and government agencies, such as Government House Sydney, Sydney Opera House, the Royal Australian Navy, Roads & Maritime (particularly Sydney Harbour Bridge), NSW Education, and Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority. Relationships with Protocol and Communications counterparts were crucial to the execution of a smooth day and to hit objectives (particularly with media & broadcast).
