Three examples of why an Agricultural Committee is needed

David Waye, President

Gave three cases where an Agricultural Advisory Committee could have produced a faster and more collaborative outcome: neglected roadside vegetation on the Burke and Wills Track that stopped stock transports reaching farms; the water standpipe review that ran from late 2018 to early 2021 and drew petitions and rallies; and the Significant Landscape Overlay process from 2021 to 2024, where no agricultural agency or farming body was consulted despite at least 90% of the targeted land being farmland.
