Local Buying Foundation is launching in Western Australia!
As the chair of the
Queensland and New South Wales Local Buying Foundation, I am proud to be involved in establishing the Local Buying Foundation where BHP Western Australian Iron Ore (WAIO) operates.
The Local Buying Foundation in Western Australia will open opportunities for communities where BHP WAIO operates to build on local capabilities and opportunities for growth in current and emerging industries. The Local Buying Foundation will support projects and programs which facilitate workforce development, innovation and the productive capacity of business and industry to grow the potential of their regional economies.
Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now open for a diverse range of business and industry group leaders who are representatives on local economic development incorporations/groups, business chambers or industry associations to form the Local Buying Foundation Advisory Committee (LBFAC) for Western Australia.
Membership on the LBFAC will consist of cross-industry representatives which may include agriculture, tourism, retail, hospitality, education, health or community.
This is an exciting opportunity to work with a range of industry stakeholders and apply your local knowledge and industry expertise to support projects that aim to
build sustainable business communities for the future.
Melissa Westcott Chairman of Local Buying Foundation, QLD, NSW & WA.
