Harvest Guide 2017

oming into the 2017 harvest, all eyes are on global supply levels and the weather as we move into this critical growing period for our crops.

After large harvests in most growing regions around the world, along with near-record crops produced here in Australia, prices were under sustained pressure during the first few months of 2017.

However, growers have seen a significant uplift in wheat and barley prices in recent months.

Our field team of grain merchants is strategically based regionally around Australia, providing local coverage of market movements and trends to ensure we are offering you competitive prices and timely information.

Our focus at GrainCorp is building on our strong customer relationships domestically and internationally, enabling us to be a global agribusiness at a local level.

Welcomen behalf of the team at GrainCorp, I would like to welcome you to the 2017 harvest.

As a farmer from Gundagai with extensive experience in Australian agribusiness I understand that every stage of the supply chain can have a direct impact on your success.

As always, safety is our number one priority, so please take care during the busy harvest period. If you see anything unsafe, please alert a member of the team – it is up to all of us to make sure we get home safely.

After last year’s near-record harvest, we have been focused on

ensuring our network is cleared and prepared for this year’s grain.

As part of our commitment to building a better network, a comprehensive maintenance and improvement program has been underway for several months. This program includes new and upgraded mobile equipment, new bunkers and enhanced traffic management plans.

These improvements are designed to make a difference to your experience with GrainCorp. Faster turnaround times and better customer service are our priorities for the 2017 harvest.

In addition to our yearly capital improvement program, Project Regeneration continues to make significant progress across New South Wales and Victoria. Growers in these areas have already started to see benefits of at least $5 a tonne flow through to farmgate prices. Our goal is to deliver these benefits network-wide in the coming years.

Industry-leading services such as the new GrainCorp app, Croptimiser, FastWeigh and CropConnect are available this harvest and I encourage you to speak to your local GrainCorp team to make the most of these features.

We have an experienced local team ready to assist. If you have any feedback, please don’t hesitate to contact myself or a member of your local team.

On behalf of the entire team, I wish you a safe and successful harvest.

Today, we offer a range of products and services that reflect the dynamic

farming environment.

There are a range of options available to you – whether your grain is stored on-farm, in the GrainCorp network or for your crops still in the ground. Initiatives such as our PriceGuard Plus and Precision Area Contracts provide growers flexibility on production volume, while still being able to lock in prices early in the growing season.

I encourage you to talk to our team about these and other competitive alternative pricing and contract options.

All our pricing options are underpinned by our five-day from end of delivery week payment terms to ensure cash is in your pocket sooner.

If I, or a member of the team, can assist you please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Introducingcounter-bids

BE PROACTIVE!Start by placing an offer. This will make your grain more visible in the market, and create the opportunity for a counter-bid.

Giving you more controlto reach your target price.

We have made some big improvements to the GrainCorp app to give you more control of your crop.

We know you love price discovery in the GrainCorp app. And we know you love the functionality and convenience of selling your grain in CropConnect. So we have brought the GrainCorp app and CropConnect together to create a one-stop-shop.

GrainCorp gives you access to more buyers than any other grain handler. Last harvest, over 100 grain buyers purchased grain through the network with an average of 15 buyers at every GrainCorp site.

The new GrainCorp app offers the existing functions and features available in the old app and CropConnect, so you can access more buyers for your grain. This includes price discovery plus the existing CropConnect functions... and some exciting new functions.

That’s right – you can now sell your grain in the GrainCorp app!

A ONE-STOP-SHOPKeep an eye on the market. Monitor your grain holdings. Market and sell your grain including the new ‘counter-bid’ functionality (see story next page). We’ve brought CropConnect and the GrainCorp app together so you can do it all in the one place. It’s all part of our service to make your harvest and grain marketing easier.

SAVE YOUR FAVOURITE PRICE SEARCHESDiscover all the price information you want, whenever you want, by saving your favourite cash and pools price searches.

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR DELIVERIESYou can keep an eye on your deliveries during harvest quicker than ever before. With the delivery summary also accessible in the app, you can monitor all your delivery information – such as truck rego, paddock or quality parameters, warehoused and buyer contracts and more.

STAY INFORMED – PUSH NOTIFICATIONS You will have the option to be notified of key transactions and events when they happen – known as push notifications. Push notifications will improve our communications to you, keeping you informed of what’s happening during harvest, plus you can choose to receive push notifications so:

• You’re informed immediately when your offer has been accepted or auto-matched; and

• Buyers can confidentially respond to your grain offer by communicating a counter-bid to you with the exciting new counter-bid feature.

More information on push notifications on Page 23.

We’ve combined the GrainCorp app and CropConnect into a one-stop-shop to manage and sell your grain.

AVAILABLE NOW!New GrainCorp app

Bigger. Better. Faster.

With CropConnect you can accept cash bids from any buyer or make an offer to your preferred buyers.

Soon, CropConnect will also allow buyers to make counter-bids for your offered parcels of grain.

With CropConnect’s new counter-bid functionality, when you place an offer on your grain:

• Preferred buyers can confidentially notify you of their counter-bid for your offered parcel; and

• Other buyers can confidentially notify you of their interest in your offered parcel.

By allowing push notifications on your smart-phone or tablet, the GrainCorp app will alert you as soon as the counter-bid is placed.

Counter-bids and push notifications will give you more control to reach your target price.

CropConnect’s counter-bid function will put you in the driver’s seat to sell your grain above the bid price at your site. Name your price… and take control of marketing your warehoused grain during and after this harvest.

Never miss an opportunity to get the price you want for your warehoused grain.

The new GrainCorp app has been released. Simply update or download the GrainCorp app on your smart-phone and/or tablet to access all the new and improved features.

SITE STACK QUALITY Site Stack Quality is the average quality of all loads of the adjacent higher grade delivered to the same GrainCorp site. For your loads in warehouse to be upgraded, the Site Stack Quality average of the adjacent higher grade at the GrainCorp site must meet certain quality specifications, such as hard wheat minimum protein. If the Site Stack Quality does not meet the required quality specifications, your load will not be eligible for Croptimiser upgrade.

CROPTIMISING IS EASY!You can optimise your Eligible Loads by contacting GrainCorp’s Grower Hotline. To help, you will receive scheduled notifications twice a week via email or SMS when you have Eligible Loads that could meet the three upgrade criteria.

To Croptimise:

• Contact the GrainCorp Grower Hotline on 1800 809 482 to confirm your eligibility to upgrade based on the three criteria

• The Grower Hotline will identify you using your NGR and registration details

• The Grower Hotline will only upgrade as per your instructions.

To ensure all your upgrade value is correctly captured and allocated to you, Eligible Loads can only be upgraded through contacting the

GrainCorp Grower Hotline.

GrainCorp Croptimiser is the simple way to optimise the quality of your warehoused grain this harvest – and increase your return!

LEARN MORECall the GrainCorp Grower Hotline on 1800 809 482 to find out if your loads are eligible or visit croptimiser.com.au

It’s never been quicker or easier to deliver and track your grain at a GrainCorp site.

FastWeigh streamlines your harvest deliveries and improves quality information by using smartcard technology – similar to ‘tap-and-go’ card payments.

FastWeigh has been rolled out to most GrainCorp sites, reducing manual processes. GrainCorp sites with FastWeigh last harvest recorded up to a 50 percent reduction in truck time through the weighbridge. And more accurate quality information supports the availability of Croptimiser.

FastWeigh:Helping you deliver your grain faster

Simply tap for FastWeigh:Sample dockets will be digitally verified at the sample stand.

Just one tap at the weighbridge auto-populates your quality specifications and delivery details.

Receival dockets no longer need to be signed.

Your receival dockets will be visible in CropConnect and the new GrainCorp app within 10 minutes.

Speak with your local GrainCorp team or call the Grower Hotline on 1800 809 482 to find out more.

We’re changing with you

Your feedback is clear: our structure is fragmented and complex and does not reflect your needs in a competitive, deregulated market.

As a result, we are simplifying our structure through the combination of Storage & Logistics and Marketing to: • Improve our customer service; and • Make us easier to deal with.

By streamlining into a more cohesive and efficient unit, we are better able to identify, target and grow relationships that will deliver real value for you.

Below, we outline the benefits of these changes and answer some questions you may have.

WHY IS GRAINCORP CHANGING ITS STRUCTURE?To make your life easier!

You have told us we can be complex to deal with.

Previously you might have dealt with a number of different GrainCorp departments – from Country Operations to Logistics to Marketing to Customer Managers.

You’ve told us this can be confusing, so we’re creating a single Grains team.

This will deliver:

• A more integrated and strategic approach to identifying and generating value opportunities for your grain; and

• A simpler, and more consistent customer experience.

Grower and buyer needs are evolving rapidly. You are sharply focused on maximising the value of your grain. Buyers are increasingly demanding about the specific functional characteristics they require.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO YOU?This change will deliver you the following benefits:

Improved efficiency, more innovative services and better market access mean we will be more competitive at your farm gate;

Easier to do business with us;

Making it easier to manage and sell your grain;

More competitive offering against integrated global competitors;

Your supply chain remains globally relevant and able to meet changing demands of end customers; and

Open access to the network continues.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR GRAINCORP TO ROLL OUT THIS FULLY INTEGRATED APPROACH?We are working hard to improve our service to you, while ensuring no disruption to your business or harvest preparations. Delivering sustained improvement will take some time and we appreciate your patience while these changes are taking effect.

WHY DIDN’T YOU DO THIS EARLIER?Changing a business and its processes is never easy. It needs to be approached thoughtfully and making sure it will meet the needs of customers – grain growers and the buyers who use the network.

That is why we only did this after speaking closely with many growers and other customers. It was your strong feedback and desire for change expressed during that process that drove this decision.

WILL GRAINCORP CONTINUE TO RUN AN OPEN NETWORK?Yes – we’re committed to maintaining open access. We know one of the important factors that makes the network attractive to deliver into is offering you as many options as possible to market and realise the value of your grain.

IS GRAINCORP STILL COMMITTED TO PROJECT REGENERATION?Absolutely. We are committed to providing growers and buyers with an efficient and internationally competitive supply chain.

A significant amount of investment has already been made, resulting in significantly reduced rail rates in NSW. These benefits are expected to roll through Victoria and Queensland as we continue to invest.

GrainCorp has been speaking in detail with many grain growers, to get the best understanding of your requirements in the modern, competitive marketplace.

By allowing push notifications on the GrainCorp app, your smart-phone or tablet will alert you as soon as the counter-bid is placed. So name your ultimate price for your grain and take control this harvest!

GrainCorp is one of the world’s largest malting companies with a global network that supplies the world’s biggest brewers.

We have worked closely with our domestic and international maltsters and brewing customers to gauge their upcoming demand for the major varieties grown by the Australian barley industry.

At GrainCorp, we keep the preferred variety list continually updated in line with market demand. Combined with our involvement with various Australian grower and industry groups, we believe the current market demands warrant segregations for the below varieties.


Varietal RestrictionsVarietal restrictions apply to the grades on this chart. A variety must not be binned above its maximum allowable varietal classification (APH2 > H1/H2 > APW1 > ASW1 > AGP1 > FED1).Only APH2 and H1/H2 varieties may be binned in AUH2 & HPS1.

These standards are to be applied on individual truck loads and must not be averaged over a number of loadsSegregations indicated on this chart are only available where announced

TYSafety at GrainCorp sites F E

Our safety standards outline that Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is required whenever you are on site.

No less than P2 level dust masks must be worn when exposed to airborne dust. In addition, safety glasses and, when required, goggles are to be worn. You must also wear hearing protection and UV protection when instructed. The best protection for feet and ankles are lace-up steel cap boots.Please contribute to safety at our sites by: • Reporting to the sample stand or site office on arrival. • Obeying warning instructions and signs. • Keeping clear of all machinery and equipment, including mobile plant. • Never entering any storage facility unless accompanied by a GrainCorp

employee, never assisting a GrainCorp employee with their duties or operating GrainCorp plant and/or machinery.

• Watching for trains at level crossings and keeping clear of railway lines. • Reporting hazards or incidents, accidents and injuries while on site to

the GrainCorp Site Manager.

Your adherence to all safety rules, and instructions from site employees, will help ensure safety on site.

TRUCK DRIVERSAll trucks delivering grain to GrainCorp sites are responsible for: • Ensuring tailgate chains are fitted. • Opening and closing tailgates and bag chutes at delivery hopper. • Ensuring vehicles are roadworthy and fit for use. • Observing site speed limits (usually 20kph). • Following traffic flow signs and instructions by GrainCorp employees. • Watching for overhead power lines. • Remaining outside the danger zone when tipping trailers. • Controlling tipping operations to prevent roll-overs or road hopper damage.

Please:• Do not enter exclusion zones.• Do not climb on vehicles where a fall may result.• Do not travel with trailer/tippers in the raised position, they must be

fully lowered before departing the grain delivery hopper.• Do not obstruct traffic with parked vehicles. Use designated parking zones.• Do not clean trucks on site.

ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGSEveryone on GrainCorp sites must be free from alcohol or illegal, prescription or pharmaceutical drugs that may affect their ability to safely perform their duties. Anyone who presents at a GrainCorp site in the presence of or impaired by drugs and alcohol will not be permitted on site. As a visitor you may be subjected to GrainCorp’s Drug and Alcohol Testing.

CHILDREN AND ANIMALSChildren and animals must be constantly supervised and always remain in the vehicle when on GrainCorp sites.

GrainCorp’s number one priority is safety – yours and ours.

Don’t have your own PPE? We can lend you the essentials – collect them at the sample stand

or site office.

HARD HAT SAFETY GLASSES

HIGH-VIS VESTS

ENCLOSED FOOTWEAR


During the harvest period, mass and fatigue are two significant areas where growers, road transport providers and receivers of grain could be legally liable for breaches of road transport laws. In the event of breaches, both the truck driver and loader could face heavy penalties.

Under the CoR Legislation, grain receivers in every state can be compelled to provide detailed information in relation to deliveries received.

This information can and has been used by regulators to prosecute transport contractors and growers.

MASS MANAGEMENTMass limits apply to heavy vehicles. During harvest, mass management laws apply to growers and truck drivers alike.

Whether loading the trucks on paddock or driving the truck to a GrainCorp site, it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure the truck complies with mass limits.

Mass limits apply to the truck configurations used by growers during harvest and these mass limits vary in every state. When loading grain it is important that the mass limit, Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and Gross Combination Mass (GCM) is known and not exceeded.

The default mass limit is the General Mass Limit (GML). On top of GML, trucks are also able to apply for extra mass limits that fall into the categories: • Concessional Mass Limits; • Class 2 or Class 3 permits; • Performance Base Standards; and • Higher Mass Limits.

Mass limits for all vehicles can be found on the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator website – www.nhvr.gov.au

FATIGUE MANAGEMENTFatigue management laws apply to vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Mass of 12 or more tonnes. Most truck drivers delivering to GrainCorp sites would operate under ‘Standard Hours’ where they can work a maximum of 12 hours per 24-hour period, and must take minimum rest breaks and rest days as per the table above.

Further information on fatigue management can be found at the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator website – www.nhvr.gov.au

LOG BOOKSAll drivers of regulated heavy vehicles who drive 100km or more from their home base, or operate under Basic Fatigue Management or Advanced Fatigue Management, must complete a work diary to record their work and rest times unless they have a work diary exemption.

The National Primary Producer Production Work Diary Exemption (Notice) 2015 allows primary producers to drive 160km from their home base before logbooks are required in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria.

If you, or a truck driver/subcontractor you employ, is working in an area less than the above distances from the home base and Standard Hours are used, a logbook is not required. When working without a logbook, relevant work and rest hour totals records must be kept.

Further information on logbooks can be found at the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator website – www.nhvr.gov.au

Do you know where your grain goes when there is a mass breach? Except for Queensland harvest deliveries, any trucks that exceed the mass limit are given the option to donate net tonnes between the gross weight and the mass limit to charity, or come back later and collect the net tonnes. Trucks delivering to any GrainCorp port are given the option to donate the grain without the option to pick up the grain.

Last harvest, donations from mass breaches aided a number of worthy causes across the network. GrainCorp facilitated the donation of $631,104 from the proceeds. The nominated recipients across New South Wales and Victoria, where nearly 100 percent of the mass breaches occurred, are:

New South Wales • Westpac helicopter • Angel Flight • Backtrack Youth Organisation • Ronald McDonald House • Batyr – youth suicide prevention in rural NSW • Leisure Company (support and activities for

disabled people) • Blaze Aid (bushfire relief on farms) • Wagga Women’s Health Centre

Victoria • Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation • Lifeline • Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne • Country Fire Authority

We’d love you to help us pick the charities we donate to. Contact your local Regional Customer Manager to nominate a charity for consideration.

GRAIN HARVEST MANAGEMENT SCHEMES (GHMS) GrainCorp has been working with state regulators to make it easier for growers to load on farm and then deliver grain to their local site during harvest.

There are differences between state jurisdictions for overloaded vehicles during harvest. These are:

• Queensland: The GHMS is administered by AgForce Queensland in conjunction with Transport and Main Roads (TMR). Registered grower trucks, transport providers and receivers of bulk grain receive a mass limit increase of up to 7.5 percent from the General Mass Limit. No increase applies to trucks claiming CML, HML or PBS.

• NSW: Key points you need to be aware of are: − Most truck types receive an increased mass limit

of up to 5 percent above General Mass Limit, however you should always check your truck type and area with RMS to ensure your load is legal.

− Council participation is optional, so it is important that you understand what mass limits apply for your area. GrainCorp must unload trucks within their usual legal mass limit if councils do not participate.

− For further information refer to the RMS website www.rms.nsw.gov.au/business-industry/heavy-vehicles/grain-transport.html

• Victoria: GrainCorp continues to work with the Victorian Government and Industry Stakeholders to develop a Grain Harvest Management Scheme. Until a Victorian Grain Harvest Management Scheme is in place, GrainCorp will operate a harvest policy and issue warning notices for trucks with a gross weight between GML and GML + 5 percent. Trucks with a gross weight that exceeds GML + 5 percent, CML, PBS or HML will be given the option to donate net tonnes above the mass limit to charity.

If in doubt, warehouse your grain! Please ensure your carrier knows how you want to deliver your grain. You can use a copy of our ‘GrainCorp Delivery Advice’ from graincorp.com.au

GROWER REGISTRATION CARDSGrowers or carriers must present a National Grower Registration (NGR) card for deliveries to GrainCorp sites. No other delivery cards can be accepted. For security reasons, NGR cards cannot be ‘held’ at any GrainCorp sample stand. If you require more than one NGR card, phone 1800 556 630 or visit www.ngr.com.au

SELLING YOUR GRAIN FOR CASHCash Prices, subject to change during the day, are offered by GrainCorp and other buyers for most grains and grades at your GrainCorp site. The Cash Price is deemed to be valid upon entry and acceptance into the system by the weighbridge operator.

The driver is asked to remain on the weighbridge until receiving confirmation of Cash Price acceptance.

Selling your grain for cash is easier this harvest with our online cash marketplace CropConnect – now

available in the new and improved GrainCorp app.

See Pages 4-5 for more information about CropConnect and the new GrainCorp app.

You can help the smooth delivery of your grain by following these simple procedures after you arrive at the sample stand.

VEHICLE CODES AND REGISTRATIONDrivers must provide weighbridge staff with the correct truck registration number and code that matches the configuration of their truck. Each site has a vehicle configuration chart that will allow drivers to check the correct code for their truck.

Vehicle configuration charts are also available on our website –

graincorp.com.au

SAMPLING DISPUTESFor sample disputes, ask the sampler to retest your load. If you’re still not satisfied with your result, a representative sample will be tested at one of our laboratories and your load may be regraded based on the result.

VARIETAL DECLARATIONSYou must correctly declare the variety of your grain on delivery. For more information on varieties please visit www.wheatquality.com.au www.barleyaustralia.com.au www.australianoilseeds.com

GrainCorp may retain samples of delivered grain to audit varietal declarations.

• Growers incorrectly declaring wheat or barley varieties, GM canola or chemical applications on delivery dockets may have their loads downgraded, and may be liable for any associated costs or losses for incorrectly declared grain.

• Growers incorrectly declaring a variety that attracts an End Point Royalty may also be in breach of your contractual obligations to the owner of that variety or seed technology.

RECEIVAL DOCKETBy signing the receival docket, you acknowledge that you have read the details, understood the information and that you are willing to abide by the instructions. It is your responsibility to ensure that information you provide for inclusion on a delivery docket is correct.

DELIVERIES TO PORT TERMINALS • Deliveries to port terminals (excluding growers

within an 80km radius of the Geelong Terminal) are only permitted if delivering to an exporter with an approved Site Assembly Plan.

Growers must have a Road Freight Provider Number to generate a Site Movement Order number (SMO) or book a time slot – http://www.graincorp.com.au/grains/truck-booking

• Harvest deliveries to Geelong Terminal and Corio Bunker site are only available to growers within an 80km radius – please contact (03) 5247 1118

− Storage fees at Geelong Terminal are higher than country storage fees (after one month free storage period)

• Deliveries into Mackay and Gladstone Terminals are restricted to growers where the terminal is the nearest approved receiver, under the Queensland Grain Harvest Management Scheme.

− For further information please refer to AgForce Queensland website – www.agforceqld.org.au

BLENDING GRAINBlending of old season and lower quality grain is monitored by trained staff. There are risks associated with blending wheat with low falling numbers, as it can lead to the downgrading of grain. This also applies to old season barley and canola being mixed with new season crop.

ON-FARM HYGIENEDon’t put your loads at risk due to poor on farm hygiene.

GrainCorp supports the grains guide – http://grainsguide.grainproducers.com.au

USE OF PHOSPHINETransporting grain fumigated with Phosphine where level of gas is equal to or more than 0.3 ppm is illegal. Where a delivery to a GrainCorp site has a detected Phosphine gas level equal to or above 0.3 ppm, the load will not be received. As required by relevant legislation, GrainCorp will notify the Police, Transportation Departments, WorkCover, or emergency services if Phosphine is present in loads of grain at levels above 20 ppm.

Project Regeneration is GrainCorp’s investment to build a better network of rail-focused storage and handling sites across eastern Australia.

The more efficient the supply chain, the cheaper it is to get your grain to its destination. That means more cash in your pocket. Rail rates will be reduced by at least $5 per tonne – and up to $10 per tonne – at Regeneration sites. These benefits are flowing on to other nearby sites, which are also seeing lower rail costs of around $5 per tonne.

For the coming season, we are rolling out more Regeneration rail loaders to improve the capability of the network and reduce rail costs. This includes:

• A group of Project Regeneration sites in Northern NSW, with Trangie and Coonamble coming online.

• An expanded group of Project Regeneration sites in Southern NSW with Cunningar, Quandialla, Barrellan and Hillston coming online.

Regeneration work is also starting soon at sites in Victoria on the upgraded Murray Basin rail lines that will be ready for the 2018/19 season, as well as Yamala in Central Queensland.

We know the world is more competitive than ever. That’s why we have invested in your future by building a better network that will take your grain to domestic and international customers efficiently and reliably, which translates to a better country site price for you.


SILO ART TRAILIt’s the community initiative that is becoming a national phenomenon.

In late-2015, Brisbane artist Guido van Helten spent a month in a cherrypicker painting a giant canvas – GrainCorp’s Brim silos in north-western Victoria.

The final product was inspirational. The response has been incredible.

The artwork on our silos has attracted visitors from around the world, mainstream media… even a popular television show, MasterChef.

The popularity of the Brim project has given rise to the Silo Art Trail.

Renowned street artists have produced masterpieces on our silos at Patchewollock (below, left), Sheep Hills, Rosebery and Lascelles, along with silos at Rupanyup, to create a tourist hotspot in north-western Victoria.

The Silo Art Trail is helping breathe new life into these towns,

attracting tourist dollars and wide-spread attention.

Now the silo art phenomenon is spreading north.

Our Thallon site, near St George in South West Queensland, is the first silo in the Sunshine State to have a massive mural painted on it.

The mural was created by two of Queensland’s most prolific street artists, Travis Vinson and Joel Fergie.

The concept, developed in cooperation with the local community, is titled ‘The Watering Hole’ and depicts a dramatic view of life on the land.

COMMUNITY FUNDEvery year, GrainCorp’s Community Fund allocates $400,000 to support initiatives around the world that promote safety, strengthen local infrastructure and contribute to community engagement.

The Community Fund supports hundreds of organisations and projects in GrainCorp’s operational regions – like the North Star P&C Association in northern NSW, who received a $16,000 grant this year to help build a much-needed sports equipment shed for their students.

Their previous storage area was small, inconvenient, did not protect the sporting equipment from vermin and was a safety hazard. So our Community Fund was thrilled to be able to help the North Star P&C build a bigger, better and safer shed.

Interested in applying for a Community Fund grant? The Community Fund is open for applications all year round. If you would like more information, contact James Fewtrell on (02) 9325 9150 or [email protected] or go to our website: About GrainCorp > Community Fund.

As well as providing financial support for specific projects, we also donate our time and resources to make a positive influence on the people around us.

GrainCorp also provides in excess of $100,000 in sponsorship for regional sporting groups and at local community events.

NAIDOC WEEK ART AUCTIONGrainCorp is dedicated to closing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, donating $100,000 to organisations like The Song Room and The Clontarf Foundation each year.

We also support local indigenous schools through events like the annual NAIDOC Week Art Auction.

Now in its fourth year, the online auction takes place during NAIDOC Week, with staff bidding on more than 70 unique paintings (like the one above) created by students from seven Sydney schools. All proceeds from the auction are donated directly back to the participating schools.

This year, we raised $9,469 for the participating schools.

GrainCorp is proud to be an active member of the communities we operate in.
