23.01.2022 The Cross Border corridor along the South Australian and Victorian border has been extended back to 70km. The area now co...vers 70km either side of the border (with the distance measured "as the crow flies" - see image) Those who ordinarily reside within the corridor who have a permitted purpose to travel across the border are not required to submit to the COVID-19 testing requirements. Cross Border Call Out will be speaking with Premier Steven Marshall today to discuss a range of issues facing Cross Border Community Members - have your say here: https://www.facebook.com/crossbordercallout/posts/497624291674765

You need to nominate them - visit www.gttia.com Its not too late to nominate, we have extended the nomination date until Friday August 30th.

08.01.2022 Last Friday will go down in history as it marked the introduction of the inaugural Green Triangle Timber Industry Awards across South Australia and Victoria! Ho...sted by the hilarious Tommy Little it was a night celebrating and rewarding individuals and companies involved in the timber industry for their dedication, hard work and best practices in their various roles and businesses. The awards encompass all sectors of the industry from nursery to silviculture, harvesting, haulage, logistics and processing and everything in between as it is important that we recognise everyone that contributes to the industry success. Did you know - The Green Triangle is home to Australias largest collective plantation and timber processing industry, contributing significantly to Victoria & South Australia, generating more than $778 million Gross Regional Product annually? In excess of 355,000 hectares of softwood and hardwood plantations produce timber for local manufacturing, national and export markets. The industry underpins some 8500 regional jobs and provides a valuable tool for businesses and investors. A huge congratulations to the committee and everyone involved in bringing this event to life. I am already looking forward to next year!
