SYDNEY REGION
INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES INFORMATION SESSION
Irrigation Australia has expanded its certification program to provide simple, easily identifiable differentiation of irrigation professionals committed to best practice and professionalism of the industry at large.
Not even an accident on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and trackwork which took all trains off the North Sydney line could stop Saturday’s seminar being a wonderful success.
Attendees arrived to find the bustling North Sydney Markets with craft stalls, food and music creating a wonderful atmosphere. Did the council organise this because they knew AILDM was coming? Our fears of chaos were swept away by the delightful atmosphere and good humour of our members and guests as they anticipated this long awaited seminar, GW2 was in September 2007. And well-worth waiting for it was.
The three speakers, Frouke de Reuver , Dr Jane Tarran and Josh Byrne complemented each other very well with the title of the seminar “Sustainable Business, Sustainable Cities, Sustainable Gardens” well and truly represented.
A full report of their talks will be posted on the AILDM forum and AILDM websites, with links to the full powerpoint presentation of the first two speakers available, soon.
AILDM would like to thank our speakers, all those who attended this great afternoon, the NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change for sponsoring this event, Universal Magazines for their continuing support and North Sydney Council for their support and assistance and use of Hutley Hall.
We are also very grateful to Alpine Nurseries for the stunning display of plants which covered the presentation area and captured CO2 throughout the afternoon.
The March 2008 edition of the AILDM e-Newletter is now available for viewing.
