THE South Gippsland Shire Council convened its second meeting of organisations that work in and around the South Gippsland dairy industry on Thursday last week.
Those in attendance included representatives from Murray Goulburn, the State Government, Burra Foods, Rural Family Resources, Rural Financial Counselling, the shire council, and Long Street Family Medicine.
The group discussed the various activities being undertaken to support the dairy farmers at the moment and those that are planned to be rolled out over the months ahead.
The next meeting is scheduled for late July.
