Dear Readers,
The year 2017 is also promising to be an interesting one, regardless of where
one might stand. On the other side of the pond, a new president was recent-
ly sworn in. On our own side, development continues across all fronts. Here at
Business View Magazine, we will continue to highlight the region’s commercial
and local government sectors and ensure that the work of the people involved
does not go unnoticed.
Our main feature for this issue will be Fennel Forestry, who are heavily invested
in Australia’s largest commercial plantation forests in the Green Triangle. The
importance of forestry will be detailed, along with the business and environ-
mental practices that make Fennel Forestry stand out.
In addition to that, we are featuring the best managed conference centres and
venues in Australia for 2016. To complement that, we have a profile and inter-
view with the Accommodation Association of Australia in an effort to present
their guidelines and the fantastic work they have been doing since the organi-
sation’s inception.
As part of our commitment to showcasing the business world of the region, we
will be highlighting the achievements of various small businesses, along with
their struggles. This issue will focus on immigrants to Australia who, through
hard work and dedication, have managed to create a wide range of businesses.
Finally, we have a range of local government Councils and a selection of com-
panies featured throughout Australia and New Zealand. We hope that you will
enjoy reading more about the regions’ growing sectors!
Best Wishes from
James Schafer & the team
