Sarcasm aside, can anyone give me some insight or thoughts on why the BOD thought Mildura was a "perfect place" to grow cannabis? Was it simply because they have a lot of sunlight hours!

From experience, I could not have thought of a worse place to locate a greenhouse. I can think of at least four key reasons why that's the case:

• Employment issues: Difficulty in attracting talented employees or workforce to rural towns or regions.

• High transport costs: Mildura is 400-540 km to the nearest capital city / international airport resulting in ongoing costs associated with delivery or acquisition of supplies.

• High Energy costs: Mildura is prone to climate extremes, eg. Summers up to 50°C / Winters down to -5°C which equates to high energy costs.

• High OPEX Mildura prone to massive dust storms which can destroy operational equipment, eg air conditioners, filters, etc:

I think originally the greenhouse was meant to be constructed at Melbourne airport. But there was a security related issue which prevented its construction there. Mildura was plan b.

The airport location would have been pretty good!
