Landcare events: Tax Changes and Spiny Rush

The following events are being hosted by Landcare groups but are not just for landcarers!

Recent changes to taxation rules in Australia and Victoria mean that all not-for-profit groups may be impacted and as such, these events are open to the communities of Dunkeld and Coleraine.

Tax Requirements Explained for not-for-profit groups – Information Evenings

Spiny Rush Information Morning

Do you have this invasive plant growing along your creeks, and in wet areas and invading onto your pastures?

Isn’t it amazing how quickly and effectively it spreads, to cover and crowd out all other species?

Have you ever wondered –

  • If it’s good for anything?
  • How to tell it apart from other species?
  • What to do to control its spread, or remove it completely?

The answers will all be here, at this very practical information morning.

We’ll have Marten Chin (Southern Grampians Shire), Chris Wilson (GHCMA), Brad McLean (agronomist & contractor) to help us answer these questions and help work out a strategy for control at this site – that you can implement at your sites too.

Day & Date:       Tuesday 27th August

Time:                   10am – 12.00 midday

Place:                  Jodie & James Young’s property – 100 Neales Road, Bochara (see map below)

Morning tea provided
