Attendance
SPAA has hosted many successful EXPO’s, Forums and Conferences to promote Precision
Agriculture (PA). Recent events held at Mawson Lakes (Adelaide), Keith (SE) and Cleve (EP) and
Clare (Mid North) in South Australia and Albury (NSW) have attracted more than 600 people
including farmers and agronomists to hear first hand about the latest developments in PA and their
commercial application from other growers.
This EXPO in 2011 will build on the success of previous SPAA events and continue to highlight new
PA technologies and their application, to increase the profitability and sustainability of Agriculture in
Australia. It will also be the first time we bring the EXPO interstate to capture new audiences.
The Venue
The 2011 EXPO will be held at Swan Hill, where driving time is about 3.5 hours from Melbourne or
5.5 hours from Adelaide.
Swan Hill is a city in the north west of Victoria. It is located on the Murray Valley Highway, on the
south bank of the Murray River, downstream from the junction of the Loddon River. Today, Swan
Hill is a thriving, modern city. Swan Hill and its irrigated hinterland are home to 16,000 people. An
economic catchment stretching along the Murray Valley into the Mallee in Victoria and the Western
Riverina in New South Wales, is also serviced by the city. Though still focused on primary
production and supplying the needs of people and businesses in the area, Swan Hill has
broadened its activities in commerce, manufacturing and tourism. The city today combines the
relaxed lifestyle and community spirit of traditional rural life, with the facilities and conveniences of
a much larger urban centre.
The agricultural and horticultural sectors are at the backbone of the community, with the region
deriving its income from these industries and the businesses that service them. The Swan Hill
region has one of the most productive and diverse agriculture sectors in Australia. A major
SPAA Precision Ag EXPO 2011 www.spaa.com.au 4
attribute of the region is the ability to grow a variety of agricultural products - both dryland and
irrigation. The diversity of agricultural production is assisted by skilled farmers, a favourable
climate, good soil types, a plentiful supply of large tracts of cheap land and quality rail and road
infrastructure.
There are major opportunities to value-add to commodities before they leave the region, including
• Grapes
• Nuts (Almonds & Pistachios)
• Olives
• Vegetables
• Stone fruit
• Meat
• Grains
• Aquaculture
The 2011 EXPO will feature a wide range of speakers on Precision Agriculture and attract a wide
audience of growers implementing PA across a number of agricultural industries.
