RBS Business Readiness Program: Workshops to help small businesses be proactive about risk assessment and planning.

While there has been increasing emphasis in recent years on reducing the personal, social and economic impacts of a natural disaster, there has been little focus on preparing businesses for events including fires, floods and even power outages during severe storms.

A new Rural Business Support (RBS) project which commenced in June 2018 aims to help 135 small rural and regional South Australian businesses be better prepared to withstand and survive natural disaster events, through proactive risk assessment and planning.

Funded under the Natural Disaster Resilience Program by the South Australian Government and the Commonwealth Department of Home Affairs, this project will be delivered by RBS via 27 workshops across regional SA between February 2019 and May 2019. The workshops are open to any small regional business with less than 20 employees.

Attendees only need basic computer knowledge and access to Adobe Reader.

\\ Silo Art - Another Tourism Icon for our Region // The stunning Waikerie Silo Art Project has now been completed by artist #jimmydvate and Garry Duncan Artist featuring local #murrayriver icon the Yabby and the Regent Parrot. The project was a partnership between the Nature Foundation SA, the Government of SA Department of Premier and Cabinet, and a small working group from the Waikerie Community who envisaged this large scale public art project reflecting the theme 'Healthy River, Healthy Community' with the hope of giving the town its own tourism icon. The artwork has already stimulated a stream of new visitors to the region reinvigorating the town and fostering a sense of pride. We are certainly proud to see how small community ideas, with support from our State Government and local business can grow into national tourism icons. #siloart #wakierie #healthyriver #healthycommunity #regionaltourism #destinationriverland #growingeconomy

Today we welcomed Grain Producers SA(GPSA) to our Murraylands office to launch their series of 20 free workshops across SA for primary producers to gain a better understanding of the new Chain of Responsibility (CoR) framework. GPSA, heavy vehicle specialists and Nationwide Personnel, will run workshops to inform primary producers of the CoR laws that were amended in October last year. The laws force primary producers to check whether transporters have all necessary legal permits and to ensure there is safe access to their property.Of the 20 SA workshops, RDAMR is assisting to coordinate four in our regions. Workshop attendees will receive tools to develop their own CoR plan with access to 12 months' online, email and phone support – valued at $1,500.
