FEA Plantations Project 2008 involves the establishment of 3,000 hectares of plantations of mainly eucalyptus species, which will be located in either Tasmania, northern New South Wales or south east  Queensland. Growers are given the opportunity to participate in the business of growing eucalypt trees on ½ hectare woodlots with four plantation options. The eucalypt species being grown is appropriate for each site, having regard to climate, soil and site factors relevant to the particular location and is suitable for both pulp and solid wood products. 

 

The objective of the Project is to grow, harvest and market timber for the highest overall price FEA Plantations Ltd  can achieve taking into account the proposed end use of the timber, e.g., for use by processors in the manufacture of fine paper, sawn timber products, etc.  The Project is FEA Plantations’ 16th consecutive offering.

 

 

The Investment

The initial management and establishment fee is $3,465 (inc.GST) per Woodlot (0.5 hectare), this is deductible in the year of investment. There are no on going rent or maintenance fees payable by Growers during the course of the Project under option 1. The combination of rent under the lease of the forestry right granted to Growers plus management fees for maintenance of the plantations, together amounts to 15% of harvest proceeds.
