Cotton could bring jobs & investment into North Queensland

“Cotton could bring jobs and investment into the Flinders River Catchment, providing growth for towns like Richmond and Hughenden, but capitalising on that potential means we’ll need better roads, improved transport links and government support for an eventual cotton gin,” Mr Murray said.

The forum was also the venue for the very first Irrigators Association in this area of Queensland, with Cotton Australia Regional Manager Renee Anderson on hand to provide practical advice about establishing a new representative group for local cotton growers and hopefully one day becoming part of the Cotton Growers Association in the future.

Cotton Australia would like to thank Corbett and Berys Tritton and their family for hosting the group and providing the accommodation, it was greatly appreciated.
