What’s your plan? Workshop — Winton

This free workshop will cover the following:

• What does the change in policy mean for you?
• Grants and loans available through QRIDA
• Steps to develop your business plan
• Resources and support to get you started

Come along and catch up with other graziers from your area and share ideas over some food. Morning tea and lunch will be provided.
