Congratulations to SAS Group Director the Hon. Bernie Ripoll and his partner Fiona Waterhouse for the launch of their new bio fuels project in Bundaberg.

Both the Hon. Larry Anthony and Peter Costantini attended the Bundaberg bioHub launch, as well as participated in the Bio Futures conference organised by Bundaberg Regional Council.

The bio economy is a crucial addition to Australia’s future energy needs, along with the recycling of waste material and feedstock, and producing new jobs and opportunities for the future.

Fiona Waterhouse founded Utilitas Group seven years ago, and this launch was a great milestone event after many years of hard work. It was great to have champion supporter Mayor Jack Dempsey giving it the thumbs up.
