Our slighly different vehicle to put to use our considerable diesel and other assets (we have a grader and tilt tray - and land, and much more) we are building the Red Dirt Driving Academy. Outside the self-evident push to get our mob licenced - and our young people skilled up to 'pimp their red-dirt rides' - and maybe participate in the boom, adding recycling a la Iron Rock is a planner's dream. We have some gargantuan scrap metal over here. Thank you for the solid groundwork.

We are a very long away, but if we can offer more support for this well resolved economic bush smarts, it would be a pleasure. Please keep us informed.

You'll get your funding.

Regards

This is one of the best ideas for an indigenous business I have seen. You guys could establish a commission based branch in every Cape York community, to encourage the disposal of dead mataka's and other recylceables instead of simply chucking them into landfills or piling it up at the local tip. Long before we became wise about recycling and understood the lucrative nature of re-using resources, millions of tons of old car bodies and other metals worth lots of dollars have been buried all over Australia. Recycling is a real enterprise and has a long life ahead, I wish you the very best.

This is the cluster of businesses that have arise around the project::

On Track is a training and employment placement service that identifies and fills vacancies by providing a responsive, efficient and reliable service to employers and jobseekers.

The Eaglehawk Recycle Shop has been established at the Eaglehawk waste facility to reduce, reuse & recycle waste before it goes to landfill and to create jobs in the City of Greater Bendigo.

Enhance collects and rebuilds computers and distributes them to low income families and recycles IT parts and equipment in a responsible manner by providing accredited training to jobseekers and volunteers.

TradeStart provides training for young people who are not reaching their full potential at school by manufacturing products for other non-profit organisations and will link the students to potential employers to gain employment outcomes.

Community Recycling Ventures will promotesocial enterprise through the production of a quality publication of the Eaglehawk Recycle Shop, as a successfulsocial enterprise model, describing the development in a step by step process which is easily replicated.

Workspace Australia will establish, operate and grow a community owned self-sustaining regional business incubator network and by capitalising on the region's strengths and opportunities to develop and grow viable small enterprises and generate employment growth.]]> Peter Yalanji Mataka/Iron Rock Recycling Tue, 12 Oct 2010 23:43:24 +1100
