Update from the AIR3503 team.

Thank you for registering your interest in the AIR3503 Project Industry Briefing.

This is to advise that, as we monitor the COVID-19 situation across the ACT, we will be providing more specific details in relation to date, time and venue as soon as possible via Austender.

We are currently ascertaining the logistics of holding a live briefing event for November in Canberra. Noting the COVID-19 restrictions, we are closely monitoring the number of participants we may be able to host. Due to restrictions we may only be able to host limited numbers. In the event that you may not be able to attend or that a live briefing is cancelled altogether, we will provide you with a recorded Industry Briefing.

We sincerely apologise for the lack of certainty this presents, and we thank you for your patience while we await further information from the ACT Government in relation to easing of restrictions.
