Agriculture Minister Kim Chance said he had spoken to his Federal counterpart Warren Truss about the submission, which was sent to Canberra two weeks ago. Mr Chance said the submission was now being evaluated by Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry Australia and the Australian Bureau of Resource Economics. He said that if successful, the wider boundary would cover a further 800 farm businesses. Once AFFA and ABRS have evaluated the submission, it will be forwarded on to the National Rural Advisory Council, which will make a recommendation to Cabinet. An announcement could be made in about three weeks.
