GOLDFIELDS NULLARBOR RANGELANDS BIOSECURITY ASSOCIATION
SUPPORT Projects
A Pastoral Business Toolbox for the Southern Rangelands pastoral industry
The Future Drought Fund’s Helping Regional Communities Prepare for Drought – Small Network Grants will be used by GNRBA to support the Goldfields Nullarbor community to be more prepared for, and resilient to, the impacts of drought through the delivery of two workshops focusing on pastoral drought resilience that will facilitate field days, conferences, forums, summits, and seminars that facilitate professional, social and community connection to build understanding of drought and climate change associated risks.
Two workshops are planned; one on November 13th 2024 at Morapoi Station, Kookynie and one on the Nullarbor in March 2025. Some of the speakers are; Richard Marver (Contour Consulting), Richard Brake (Brake Consulting) and Louise O’Neill (FarmLifeFitness).
This project is supported by FRRR, through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.
Governance Day 17/08/2023
Over 30 pastoralists attended the Governance Day with Caroline Robinson, 150 Square. GNRBA was able to develop outcomes based on the response from attendees. Attendees offering transparency in their business models, consistent questions, engagement with Caroline, retention at event until the end of day and response to GNRBA post activity.
Attendees have been seeking outside advice for poor governance in their business, succession planning, accounting advice and financial advice since the Governance Day. It is widely talked about, and they ask GNRBA to bring Caroline (150 Square) back for another day as soon as budget and time permits.
