Last night I attended a wonderful presentation given by Fiona Waterhouse, CEO of Brisbane based Utilitas Group Pty Ltd, whose company has proposed to build a crowd-funded biohub facility to transform organic waste and waste water from the Richmond Valley into energy, clean water and other bio-products.

Utilitas have partnered with crowd funder Domacom (https://www.domacom.com.au/) to raise $4.3 million to secure the site and develop the biohub.

Utilitas and Domacom have now formed an alliance with Cannabis producer PUF Ventures (http://www.puf.ca) Australia (PVA) who last month announced Casino was the site chosen for a multi-million dollar cannabis facility. The facility would make Casino the centre of Australia's burgeoning medicinal cannabis industry with a one million-square-foot cannabis greenhouse and processing plant, employing 300 people and producing 100,000 kilograms of cannabis a year at capacity.
