Gascoyne Muster 2003 Working Group Reports

In May 2002, the then Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, Alannah MacTiernan convened a Pastoral Industry Forum - the Gascoyne Muster for community consultation on pastoral industry issues.  As a result of the forum, five pastoral industry working groups were established to report on key issues affecting the industry.

In October 2003 at the Gascoyne Muster II, the working groups delivered their reports, with participants debating and reviewing the recommendations.  Public submissions on these reports were then invited and those received were taken into account as part of the working groups’ deliberations.
