To ensure a range of small and large communities had the opportunity to be part of Pick My Project, no more than 50 per cent of a regional partnership areas funding was awarded to one local government area (LGA). As a result this project was unsuccessful.

The business will employ abled helpers and a team of intellectually disabled adults to manufacture, package, and sell chocolate products. Unlike many disabled workshops, this business aims at making employees feel important, needed, and finally, happy.
It will draw from other successful entities: Mildura Chocolates, DAL cafe in Geelong, and Bayley House in Brighton.

Firstly, to employ those disabled people in the Geelong area that would like to work and have fun,
Secondly, to provide good quality chocolate and health products,
Thirdly, to establish a tourist destination.
