Agri-business Products

The WA Blue Gum Project 2008 offers a timber plantation investment growing Tasmanian Blue Gum in the south west of Western Australia between Bunbury and Albany.

Hardwood fibre extracted from Blue Gum is the preferred raw material for the production of high quality paper and there is an increase in demand for raw materials for paper production caused by an increasing reliance on paper and paper products by developed and developing countries.

Growers will sublease three or more identifiable allotments (1 hectare each) of land for an expected term of 10 years; each hectare will contain between 1000 and 1250 trees.  

WA Blue Gum have an "offtake" agreement with a "higher price" exclusion with the WA Chip & Pulp Co Pty Ltd with the ability to negotiate a higher price with any other potential buyers. The Project Manager has engaged industry experts including WACAP Treefarms Pty Ltd and URS Australia Pty Ltd to assist with the management of the project. 

To comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act, agribusiness fund managers are now requiring that certified identification documents are provided by investors with applications. To avoid delays in processing your investment, please include identification forms and a certified copy of your ID with your application. more info
