Cherbourg is moving towards having people own their businesses in town.<\/p>\n

Twenty employers, council and government officials met on August 15 to discuss how to make this a reality.<\/p>\n

It will involve Cherbourg people being involved in the development of enterprises.<\/p>\n

Should they prove their capabilities they will be given a chance to take the reins as owner-managers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a hand up, not a hand out,\u201d Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council economic development manager Sean Nicholson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will take a while but we want the school kids to graduate into employment where they can succeed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want CDEP (work for the dole) to be a destination job. We want it to be a transition to a career or a job people love to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first project is scheduled to be handed over in October.<\/p>\n

This will allow a local man to be promoted to the ownership of a cutting edge agricultural project.<\/p>\n

It will involve planting vegetables in charcoal and the control of their seedling temperatures so produce comes to market earlier and fetches top dollar.<\/p>\n

While the land and equipment will always belong to Cherbourg Council, the business will effectively become the current worker\u2019s, who has earned his stripes for the past three years.<\/p>\n

The Yurri Muntha Caf\u00e9, cattle farm, joinery and other council businesses may be operated in the same manner at a later date.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hoped success will bring other projects to the fore.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a 20-year plan,\u201d Mr Nicholson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some great opportunities being developed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment we\u2019re in the people building stage but laying the platform for a great future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
