Mr. O'Connor couldn't be here today and has requested that Councillor Finzel read his questions which will be answered by Kim Rawlings, Director Strategy and Environment. Councillor Finzel.
Karen Finzel2:34Question two. What scoping studies have occurred to establish an agricultural hub in Noosa Shire? Will they be made public? Has a business case been prepared and will the feasibility of such a venture rely upon funding from state and Federal government sources? At the start-up stage and ongoing. What economic benefit would the hub generate and what is the time frame that Noosa Council is working towards getting such a project up and running? Thank you.
