Re: Healsville Plant

I am located in Horsham and would love to be more involved. I am all for the development of this training facility and if I was a bit closer would have been interested in becoming number 5.

But this is not pocket money to most on here. If I was in a position to become number 5 then I would be seeking a business plan from the instigators of this project. Is there one available? While most of the labour will be donated? who is project managing this? Are they capable? What happens with cost overruns, legal liabilities, insurance, a plan to end the project if it does not work out, Government regulations and taxation, disputes.

Who will be responsible for the ongoing management of the facility? What ongoing expenses will there be (rent, electricity, licensing, maintenance, income & expenditure). What class size and frequency needs to occur to break even? Taxation? Will this be a business or what? Again, taxation.

Who will run the courses? Will there be any scope for others (investors) to also run or participate in the courses (and get paid too, as I am sure those that will initially run the courses will get paid).

I am sorry I don't mean to be negative but as I said, $5000 is not pocket change.

Light Green.
