SDRC CEO Dave Burges said the session would be particularly relevant to the agricultural industry to understand how mining exploration permits could affect their operations and land use.
“Agriculture is the region’s biggest industry and Council is committed to supporting its continued growth,” Mr Burges said.
“Members of the local agricultural industry including growers, wine growers and horticulturalists are strongly encouraged to attend to understand the impacts of applications and grants over a property and their future livelihoods.
“Council is pleased to welcome industry expert Alice Prince, Manager Engagement from the Department of resources to explain how permits and grants work.”
