For ten years, the India Australia Business & Community Alliance (IABCA) has celebrated leaders working to advance the Australia-India relationship. The IABCA and Awards shines a light on the innovation and entrepreneurship of individuals and businesses and their outstanding efforts to strengthen our people-to-people links with India.

It can also be used for events and meetings.
"We felt that would benefit the community and it really is a beautiful home, so let's enjoy it,"Mayor Liz Goossens said.
