Blue Gum Plantation Highlights:
-Highly Sought-After Product: Tasmanian Blue Gum (E. globulus) is prized by Japanese and Chinese paper manufacturers for high-quality paper and paperboard. Its light-coloured wood fibre requires fewer chemicals for processing.
- Prime Location: Located near Bunbury, minimizing transport costs for harvesters, hauliers, and exporters.
- Third Rotation Coppice: Currently in its 12th-year rotation, reducing labour input and offering future revenue potential.
- Ownership Flexibility: The plantation is not leased, offering full ownership with minimal annual maintenance (firebreaks). Alternatively, a lease arrangement with local wood processors is an option.
- Income Potential: Proceeds from the wood sale can be used to re-establish pastures after its current rotation if desired.
