The Centre has hit the ground running in 2023 with plenty of research activity, collaborations, travel, and events underway. I have been particularly enjoying seeing all the action happening in the fields of the Hermitage Research Facility by Chief Investigator David Jordan‘s team.

After Chairing the Centre’s Advisory Committee (CAC) over the past couple of years it is timely for me to reflect on some of our meeting outcomes. Committee members were invited onto the CAC because of their experience in government, industry, community and indigenous affairs, as well as research and academic leadership. Importantly, we also have welcomed a Centre Early Career Researcher (ECR)
