Perth Business Updates

 Hello, Every business owner must have a well-defined business plan that helps to establish the vision and mission statement for the business. It is needed to set the goals and check the viability of the business idea before spending money on establishment and expansion. A business plan has all the details about the entity, starting from its name and registration number to intellectual property and financial projections. It is the blueprint of the venture and is used to inform the employees and stakeholders about the mission of the business. To know how to write a good business plan, here is an article that explains the nine steps of creating it.    https://www.business2sell.com.au/blogs/strategy/how-to-write-a-good-business-plan-in--steps

 Western Australia's gaming minister has defended not setting up a dedicated group to advise on who oversees the state's only casino, as he presented the government's official response to last year's scathing royal commission into the organisation and its regulators and flagged a complete overhaul of gambling laws. The Perth Casino Royal Commission, which reported to government in March last year, found Crown Resorts was unfit to hold a gaming licence in WA.  It identified failures by government departments and regulators that it said in turn allowed money laundering to continue without question, and raised concerns about allowing junkets with links to criminals to operate at the casino.

 Residents of a regional West Australian community are threatening legal action against Western Power as ongoing outages bring more than a decade of frustration to a boiling point. Located about 350 kilometres north of Perth, Port Denison and Dongara are at the end of a long feeder line from Geraldton. Infrastructure supplying power to the towns is spread out across a wide area and is exposed to the elements. This summer, the total duration of outages in the towns exceeded 30 hours.  Read More: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-20/port-denison-ongoing-power-network-failures/102117020

 Australian Clinical Labs (ASX: ACL) has lobbed a $1.58 billion off-market offer to merge with one of its biggest competitors, Healius (ASX: HLS), as it looks to become the nation's largest pathology services provider and secure a deal that could have it "knocking on the door of the ASX 100".  While ACL is the smaller of the two - with a market capitalisation of $726.6 million prior to its proposal - the Melbourne-based player believes it can help its larger rival turn around its operations, which posted a net profit loss of $28.7 million and earnings loss of $13.2 million in 1HFY23. If the deal goes through, the combined entity will have 171 labs and 3,413 collection centres across the country, with expectations they will save up to $95 million over the next four years under the proposed combination of their labs, logistics, procurement benefits, back-office activities and overlapping IT systems.
