A partnership between the TAFE NSW Riverina Institute, local wineries, and schools addresses the current skills shortage for laboratory technicians in the wine industry.

Riverina Institute’s Wine & Food Technology Centre recently worked together with DeBortoli Wines, McWilliams Wines, the Australian Wine Research Institute, two local High Schools and four Central Schools to give year 10 students a practical taste of working in laboratories of wineries.

Lorraine Elliott visited the Riverina on January 23rd in order to follow through the chain of events in getting produce donated to Foodbank to Sydney, and onto those in need. Leeton WNWN held their first event in conjunction with her visit. Many community members turned out to pick onions for Foodbank - from small children through to university students, and retired people - which was followed by a morning tea with Lorraine. Lorraine spent two days touring the area, and proceeded onto Griffith and Hillston from Leeton.

Waste Not Want Not

in Partnership Broker

Waste Not Want Not (WNWN) is an innovative concept that has been a true Community Partnership in Hillston (Carrathool Shire). Due to the large volume of food wastage, WNWN was developed in order to save produce (which was deemed unmarketable due to minor factors such as weight and colour) to send to Foodbank, Sydney. From here it is then distributed to 500 NSW Charities which run soup kitchens or distribute the food to people requiring assistance. Due to its success, WNWN decided to expand to Leeton. The initiative will encourage interaction between the Schools, Businesses and Community.
