Tasmanian Dairy Industry Strategic Plan 2006-10
In August 2006 the Minister for Primary Industries and Water, the Hon David Llewellyn launched the 2006-2010 Tasmanian Dairy Industry Strategic Plan. The plan has been developed by industry and government representatives working together to develop a set of priority objectives and actions for the coming 5 years.
The new plan builds on the foundations and success of previous 5 year plan. It recognises significant growth potential for the industry and has a target of 25% milk production growth by 2010.
This plan will support industry growth and development by giving farmers the opportunity to develop their skills, gain greater access to resources and to improve farm management across a number of priority areas. These priority areas are:
- Human Resource Skill Development
- Natural Resource Management
- Business and Finance
- Animal Health and Welfare
- Animal and Feedbase Performance
The Plan's implementation will be jointly managed by DairyTas, TFGA, DPIW and milk company representatives.
