In 2019, Lindell Andrews took the lead role on one of the most significant projects in the South Australian livestock industry’s history – the SA Dog Fence Rebuild Project.
This five-year project is rebuilding around two thirds of the 100 year-old, 2,150 kilometre structure.
Lindell’s ambition for the success of the project and her dedication to SA’s drought and wild dog impacted pastoral sheep industry, has created and driven a fence replacement program that exceeds industry standards and community expectations.
Just 3 years ago, nobody in the pastoral industry would have even dreamt that a rebuild of this scale was possible.
Lindell has developed effective working relationships with a national panel of fencing contractors and material suppliers to rebuild sections of the fence ranging from 50 to 200 kilometres.
Lindell has excelled in a male-dominated industry through ambition, leadership, and determination.
