Our work

  • “We couldn’t recommend Linda more highly. Without her expertise and knowledge, we certainly wouldn’t be where we are today operating our winery with a producer’s license here in Tooborac. Councils have an unspoken language which we found extremely difficult to decipher but Linda has the experience and understanding of exactly what Councils want, and how to present it, to gain the best possible result.”
