[New] meetups

Contributed by Jenny Broderick

SINCE Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce kicked off its local agribusiness initiative less than 12 months ago, they have already hosted five workshop events for both local chamber members as well as industry representatives from across the region.

The latest event was hosted by Jade King at Green Valley Fingerlimes at Beerwah and the special guest speaker on the day was Sunshine Coast Council CEO Emma Thomas.

Emma, along with Andy Eves-Brown council’s manager for economic development and local councillor Rick Baberowski, led a panel discussion on the future of Agritourism in Glasshouse

County, the Biosphere submission and considerations for the next Council planning scheme.

Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce president Jenny Broderick said it was great event, and that she has been really pleased with the outcomes from these regular Agribusiness meet-ups, the informal partnerships that have formed between members, and the shared vision that is being created in the group members.
