All 14, 500 residents of the

insight into the priority areas that
require investment and action
over the next five years.
Mike Chuk, planner with DCQ,
says that a review is well and truly
due as a lot has happened since
2006.
Mr Chuk hopes the updated plan
will match or exceed what has
been achieved over the past five
years under the guidance of the
original, community-based plan.
“We have put together some
impressive numbers like the
enhancement or protection of
native vegetation with 125
demonstrations and field days
attended by 1, 457 people,” Mr
Chuk explained.

Christian Griffiths will be held at

The workshops will be held
between April 26 and May 1,
thanks to funding and support
from RADF and the Council.
Workshop participants will
work with Christian to create
aerographic directional signs for
tourism attractions in Blackall
and Tambo.
The workshops are open to senior
school students and community
members and will be held twice a
day for two-hours each.
Blackall students and members
of the wider community will have
to wait to enjoy a performance
put on by music students from
St Joseph’s Nudgee College in
Brisbane.
The tour of regional schools has
been postponed until term three.
The community concert was to
be held at St Joseph’s School in
Blackall on Tuesday, April 20.
Christian has worked in Blackall
over the past few years delivering
workshops and creating murals.
In 2009 Christian was profiled as
one of Queensland’s 150 creative
young people in the Youth Arts
Queensland Directory.
He is now owner and operator of
mural company Aerograffix which
was formed by a small group
of artists, and began as part-
time work for the muralist and
workshop facilitator.

Information days focus on growing trend for grass fed beef
IN LIGHT of recent rainfall across
the district, growing grass is one thing
the central west is doing well.
How best to use this abundance
to meet growing market trends for
grass fed beef will be the focus of a
series of information days held later
this month.
Cattle producers and other
industry experts will discuss the
benefits of grass fed beef and
how the best end-product can
be achieved and marketed at the
information days in Alpha on April
28, Muttaburra on April 29 and in
Barcaldine on April 30.
Guest speaker Samantha
Jamieson has been based in Japan
as the MLA regional manager for
a number of years and says that
sixty percent of the beef exported to
Japan is grass fed and it is a market
which can be further exploited by
the grass fed beef producers.
“Urban Australians need to
understand and have confidence
that Australian producers are
looking after the land and the
animals,” said Ms Jamieson.
The relationship between good
land management practices and
good production levels is one which
is receiving increased attention in
the industry.
