Nanango&#8217;s Kerry Oldfield<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>November 30, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Growing The Burnett (GTB) will launch a $250,000 public fund-raising drive next year to allow it to purchase a permanent home in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n<p>The plan &#8211; which was foreshadowed at the group&#8217;s Annual General Meeting in October &#8211; was formally announced at an invitation-only fundraising lunch for about 50 guests held at a private residence in South Nanango on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>GTB founder Brian Jarvis told guests the non-profit community organisation was currently focussing on three projects for 2015:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The design and development of an integrated small farm on leased land at Moffatdale, in collaboration with the land owners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The purchase of a farming property in the region for the development of a permanent, commercial community farm and Sustainability Centre which would be wholly owned by GTB, and &#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The design and construction of an integrated lifestyle block &#8211; including a residence and infrastructure &#8211; tailored to fit low-income earners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Mr Jarvis said GTB intends to raise funds for the projects by opening a Register Of Sponsor Members next year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Individuals and companies would be able to make donations of any amount to the Register.<\/p>\n<p>Donations would give sponsor members part-ownership of GTB&#8217;s assets, along with a legally enforceable guarantee that if the organisation were wound up, they would be entitled to be reimbursed their donations from the sale of the organisation&#8217;s assets.<\/p>\n<p>Sponsor members would also be entitled to other benefits but the GTB Board is yet to decide what these would be.<\/p>\n<p>The group also took the opportunity to launch a brochure outlining Growing The Burnett&#8217;s three-year history, aims and objectives.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Jarvis said reaction to the concepts outlined at the lunch had been very positive.<\/p>\n<p>The group now hopes to hold a similar lunch for the public towards the end of January so non-members can also hear about GTB&#8217;s plans and become involved in its projects if they wished.<\/p>\n<p>The day raised about $2000 for the group&#8217;s funds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2014\/10\/gtb-looks-to-private-investors\/\">GTB Looks To Private
