The GEDC Board travelled to Laverton last month for their Board meeting and an opportunity to visit a number of community organisations and projects.
Board members toured facilities that have recently been upgraded with GEDC funding support, including the Great Beyond Visitor Centre and the Laverton Training Centre. Laverton Training Centre manager, Mac Jensen, provided insight into the training outcomes achieved both at the centre and through their outreach programs in the Northern Goldfields. The Board also met with Pakaanu Aboriginal Corporation and headed out to the Laverton Race Course to visit the Laverton Dirt Cart track which was a 2021 Small Grant funded project.
The Board meeting provided a valuable opportunity to hear from the Shire of Laverton Councillors and CEO on key projects and focus areas for the Shire, as well as the issues that matter to their community.
