TRANSCRIPT
7 June 2012 Dear Sir/Madam, GRAZING AND GRAINS FUNDING AVAILABLE Please find attached a flyer detailing the Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. (FBA) current funding program for land management projects within the region. As your local not-for-profit, natural resource management community organisation, and agent for access to FBA funding, Central Highlands Regional Resources Use Planning Cooperative (CHRRUP) takes this opportunity to contact you about applying for the incentive funding. If you run a grazing or grain enterprise and have been considering infrastructure development and equipment purchases to help achieve land management improvements on your property, now is the time to contact us. To access incentives through the current funding program you will need to be in contact with CHRRUP and have your funding application in place by the end of August 2012. Projects successful in gaining incentive funding will then need to be completed by 31 March 2013. For more information on the FBA incentive funding and how you can apply for the funding, please call us on 07 49 822996 or feel free to drop into the office at Level 1/13 Borilla Street, Emerald. CHRRUP has been supporting the Central Highlands community since 1997. We continue to focus on our goal of assisting rural landholders in our region to improve the management of our natural resources. Finally, I extend an invitation for you to attend any of our upcoming workshops and events which will be advertised on our website, in our newsletter, and also circulated through our email updates. If you are currently not receiving CHRRUP email communications and newsletters please contact us to be added to the distribution list. All the best over the coming months and we hope to hear from you soon. Yours faithfully,
Megan Daniels, Executive Officer and on behalf of the CHRRUP team
