      Hi,

      My group is investigating more about 1.3 Increasing food security during the wet season.

      It is mentioned Livydale to be suited for improving food storage and cold chain, would you be able to elaborate more on why this location is particularly a good opportunity for this, compared to say Silver Plains? Just looking to understand a bit more about the opportunity for this location.

      We also have some questions regarding cattle, what happens to it during wet season?

      For food safety, is the community interested in a particular type of food storage that they struggle to secure during wet season (Seeds, meat, vegetables?) or is it more generic such as emptying fridges due to absence.

      Kindest,
      Cristian

        Hi Cristian,

        Thank you for your questions.

        A couple of reasons I can think of for Lilyvale being chosen as the location to improve food storage is its rough centrality between most of the key locations on Lama Lama such as Running Creek and Marina Plains. Additionally, at the time of my visit, Silver Plains was disputed land between two Traditional Owner groups – Lama Lama and Umpila.

        Unfortunately, I don’t have solid answers to your other questions but I will note them down for our Community Insights Event this Friday. I hope you’re able to attend the session. It’ll be a fantastic opportunity to ask any other questions you may have, directly to our community partner YAC.

        Kind regards,
        Evelyn
