Recovery Plans for Queensland Horse Industry
Delegates from Queensland’s major equine associations have come together to form a Queensland Horse Council Industry Advisory Sub Committee. This group will actively address issues that are important to the recovery of the Queensland Horse Industry post Equine Influenza.
QHC President, Mrs Julie de Visser said, “We’re delighted to announce that this new sub committee has today elected Mr Bob Frappell as its Chair. Bob is well known as the President of the Queensland Thoroughbred Breeders Association and his appointment is a giant step in bringing the recreational and racing sectors together. We see this as a positive step in uniting the voice of Queensland’s horse industry.
This group represents QHC’s current membership of 22,400 people. Additionally, Pony Club Australia has asked to be included as consultants to the Industry Advisory Sub Committee. This brings the combined voice of approximately 65,000 people as a point of reference and consultation for Government on all matters relating to the horse industry. It is a major achievement to bring this number of organisations together, representing so many horse owners in such a diverse industry.
The QHC acknowledges the efforts of the EI Crisis Committee and Mr Rob Setter, Deputy Director-General of the Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries during the recent Equine Influenza outbreak. The QHC has extended an invitation to members of this committee to join the QHC Industry Advisory Sub Committee so that their experience and expertise in addressing the EI crisis will not be lost”.
Established in 1986, the Queensland Horse Council consistently addresses problems affecting the horse industry. The work of the QHC is crucial to representing the voice of all industry members to the Government.
The QHC has worked tirelessly to represent its 22,400 strong membership over many years in negotiations with Government on issues such as the public liability crisis and state forest trails issue and we are now working actively on the EI recovery process.
