    A cooperative systems model for the Mackay regional sugar industry : SRDC Final report MSA003
    (SRDC, 2006) Fleming, GF; Markley, JA; Raines, AJ; O'Hara, IO; Crane, JA
    In 2000-2001 the Mackay sugar industry embarked on a path of rapid and major change, driven by a depressed world sugar market and specific regional problems of drought and disease. The changes were initially directed purely at cost reduction, and employed a raft of technologies including a web portal to reduce staff numbers and streamline grower-harvester-miller interfaces.

    Project Mackay alignment of grower services (MAGS) : Final report MAP002
    (Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2010) Ashburner, BJ; Markley, JA; Muscat, J; Latter, K
    The Mackay Sugar region recognised that there was room for improvement of grower services which were available in the region and many issues were discovered to exist. An Alignment group was established which consisted in its final form of 33 people covering 8 organisations with 8 elected grower leaders, 9 informal grower leaders, 11 management level leaders and five other selected staff members (from three organisations). This group appointed a Project Committee and from this Project teams were formed to complete specific tasks. There was also a Stakeholders Group which was selected by the Chairmen of Mackay Sugar Limited and Mackay Canegrowers Limited. This was to enable decisions and negotiations to take place with sufficient authority (power).
