Water and Rivers Commission district manager Alan Bradley said Nicole would need the help of community members to provide local knowledge of the river system. An Agriculture WA proposal to seek quotations for a project to undertake a land capability assessment of several areas that have been identified as possibly containing soils suitable for horticulture was approved. The project will provide an in depth soil analysis of the identified locations. Following the growers meeting on January 30, the committee decided to hold funds to assist with the establishment of a peak body for grower representation. The committee was keen to assist the horticultural district in any course of action it decided as a group.
Funds also exist to assist with the funding of someone to assist with industry development.
The current business plan is to be reviewed in the near future. Several projects in the business plan have been discounted due to the findings of other projects. This has allowed for funds to be reallocated to other projects and creates the opportunity for new projects, which are consistent with the LGMS to be considered. If you consider that there is a project worthy of consideration or would like some more information about any of the current projects. Please call Alan Bradley on 9941 4921.
