Paddock to Port to Plate
The vision - To supply the best fresh Australian produce from 'Paddock to Plate' in Asia within 24hrs.
Topline: This is another huge logistical infrastructure step in the 'big hairy audacious goal', to enable wider Australia and the region to supply fresh produce to the tables of Asia.
Major infrastructure projects planned in the Darling Downs will have huge impact on local agribusiness and industrial property sector.
The food supply chain is dependent on a range of infrastructure for continuity of production, processing, distribution and retail—power, water, financial services, communications and transport services - Extrapolate the economic impact and the job opportunities and find out more about Toowoomba
A $13 billion economic bonanza for Toowoomba has the city scurrying to lure new residents to fill jobs.
The Darling Downs city, dubbed Too-boom-ba, is preparing plans to lure workers to live there as a raft of huge infrastructure projects and other developments create a looming skills shortage.
"That’s the biggest challenge we have at the moment," Shane Charles, CEO of Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise, said. "There are 500 jobs unfilled. We need people to relocate here."
The business group is considering a crowd-funding campaign to recruit workers from areas of high unemployment in Queensland and other parts of Australia.
“We have work opportunities, we’re the most family-friendly city in Australia and the median house price is still only $375,000,’’ Mr Charles said.
The latest lift for Toowoomba came with this week’s Federal Government announcement that the inland rail route from Melbourne to Brisbane would take it right past the city’s Wellcamp Airport and three enormous industrial and logistics parks being constructed.
