The Outback Way’s Economic Value for Industry

This episode is all about the economic value for industry throughout and along the Outback Way. The Outback Highway Development Council (OHDC) has been running some industry briefing Zoom meetings updating people who have people businesses about the value that the Outback Way, when sealed, will deliver for those businesses and communities. This episode is a recording of one of those industry briefings held in early June 2021. The speakers you will hear are Helen Lewis, host of the Outback Way Podcast and General Manager of the OHDC, and Patrick Hill, Chairman of the OHDC and Shire President of Laverton Shire, Western Australia.
