Deputy Director of the Jinan Agriculture Bureau<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>December 17, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A group of five business people from the city of Jinan in eastern China visited the South Burnett on Wednesday as guests of the South Burnett Regional Council.<\/p>\n<p>The delegation was headed by the Deputy Director of the Jinan Agriculture Bureau, Sun Genggui.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sun was accompanied by Xu Chongyong, director of Xinshi town in Jiyang county; Niu Dengjun, director of Shahe town in Shanghe county; Kang Huijun, vice-general manager of Modern Dairy (Commercial River) Co Ltd; and Liu Xianyun, general manager of Jinan Spring Rain Futian Animal Husbandry Co Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>The delegation was interested in learning more about farming activities in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanied by South Burnett Mayor Wayne Kratzmann and Economic Development Manager Phil Harding &#8211; and an interpreter &#8211; they visited Clovely Estate&#8217;s vineyard at Moffatdale; the old Murgon Meatworks (which closed in 2007 but is still owned by Teys Australia); a dairy farm in the Nanango \/ Brooklands area; and Kingaroy&#8217;s new wastewater treatment plant which is currently under construction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teys&#8217; employees Scott Kapernick and Brian Beer escorted the visitors through the decommissioned abattoir, which has been stripped of all its equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The delegation inspected the former boning room as well as other production areas.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Kratzmann said a development on the 70ha site could be attractive to potential investors as the Council has a 1500ML yearly allocation of water available from SunWater, but the town uses just 300ML.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Allowing for expansion in Murgon, there would still be at least 1000ML of high priority water available,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would not be another meatworks, but the site ticks a lot of boxes for other uses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The delegation members will fly out of Australia on Thursday on their way to New Zealand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_130593\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-130593\" style=\"width: 740px\"
