TRC Hosts Agriculture Forum

Tablelands Regional Council is holding quarterly agriculture industry forums across the region.

‘The forums will provide regular face-to-face opportunities to talk about some of our initiatives and to hear from stakeholders,’ said CEO Dr Nikola Stepanov.

‘The first Agriculture Forum will be at 10am–2pm Monday 12 May at the Mount Garnet Town Hall.

‘Normally these forums would only go for an hour but we will have Andrew Cripps, the State Recovery Coordinator for North and Far North Tropical Low, at this event as part of his second round of engagement.

‘Our staff from Roads, Land Protection and Emergency Management will be at the forum as well as representatives from Department of Primary Industries, Farmer to Lifeline Farmer, Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority and Rural Financial Counselling Service

‘We are excited to be standing up this forum and hope to see interested stakeholders there.

‘Twice-yearly forums on tourism, business and development will also commence in the coming months,’ said Dr Stepanov.
