Roxby Downs is a mining town in central South Australia. With BHP Billiton's Olympic Dam mine not far away, Roxby Downs and surrounding communities like Andamooka and Woomera have expectations of growth, but this rate of growth will be controlled by BHP Billiton and our state government. Planned expansion of the mine will surely grow this tight knit community. This is an exciting prospect for all of South Australia.

Schulz Hobbs is a proud supporter of the community and local businesses in the area and regularly visits the town. Warren Hobbs and Phil Stockwell hold business breakfasts to assist small business owners in town to improve their businesses

Warren's initial involvement with Roxby Downs was to assist the commencement of the Rotary Club of Roxby District. A variety of other Roxby involvements started from there.

Warren and Phil are writing regular columns monthly at the request of The Monitor, a local Roxby Downs newspaper. Make sure you don't miss it...

If you wish to book an appointment time or to attend the monthly Business Breakfast then please call Warren or Phil direct on (08) 8179 1111. Ask about our introductory free discussion to discuss your needs and find out where we will be able to help.
