Fleurieu Community Co-operative

Many local primary producers are very interested in the progress of the Fleurieu Community Co-operative based at Strathalbyn.

The South Australian Treasurer has now signed the deed associated with their grant, so they can go ahead and apply for the first tranche of grant funding to be released, which will enable them to re-start their capital works program. The final requirement is to demonstrate that they have matched funding in place from the private sector. They are still welcoming applications from new members, as well as from existing members wishing to purchase more shares or Co-operative Capital Units (CCUs).

More information is available on the Co-operative’s website: https://fccoop.com.au/

In addition, more information will be passed on as it becomes available, including any news regarding a re-opening date.
