January 2008 - Timbercorp's Water and 2008 Project Update Overview
Since the start of the irrigation season, Timbercorp has been implementing a comprehensive management strategy to deal with reduced water allocations.

This included: carrying over water from the previous year; maximising the advantages of the company’s $150 million state-of-the-art irrigation system; purchasing additional temporary water; and implementing a range of water saving measures.

November 2007 - Timbercorp’s water management
The majority of Timbercorp’s projects are not located in regions that have been affected by the reduced rainfall currently experienced in the Murray Darling Basin.

Timbercorp’s 96,000 hectares of eucalypts in the Green Triangle region of Victoria and South Australia and in southern Western Australia have experienced above average rainfall this year. Timbercorp’s mango and avocado orchards at Cairns, Mataranka, Bundaberg and Busselton all have access to sufficient water.

October 2007 - Great Southern’s water management
As a major participant in the Australian agricultural sector, Great Southern is committed to monitoring the threat of climate change and drought conditions and managing the changing environment in relation to our operations.

Overall, we are currently well placed in relation to this issue, with access to adequate high security water, rainfall catchment on farm, private dams, regulated ground water and river supply, and the ability to purchase temporary transfer water as required. Importantly, growers will not bear the costs for any additional water Great Southern has been required to purchase for its existing investments.

October 2007 - Water: Almond Investors Limited’s Current Planning
Graham Johns, AIL’s Orchard Manager, is one of Australia’s most experienced and respected Almond orchardists and over his 26 years of experience has developed a sound understanding of how to manage almond trees under a broad range of growing conditions.

For this potential dry period he has available to him some of the most modern and sophisticated irrigation and fertilising technology in Australia, which he is using to maximise outcomes, even in a reduced water environment. This allows him to carry out a range of actions, in many ways similar to what we do in our home gardens in times of water restrictions, on the large scale of a commercial orchard. His aim is to maintain the health of the almond trees during the current dry period and obtain balanced growth and crop yields in proportion to available irrigation water. This will enable the trees to always be in the best possible condition to quickly return to optimum levels of orchard performance when normal rainfall patterns resume.

June 2007 - Great Southern update: New secondary market for forestry MIS
In a recent announcement by the Government, investors in forestry MIS may now be able to trade their investments. This comes as great news for investors in Great Southern’s Plantation and High Value Timber Projects.

What the announcement means:
 
Initial investors may trade their interests effective 1 July 2007, after they have been held for a minimum of 4 years;
The secondary market is expected to provide investors with a greater degree of flexibility in being able to sell their forestry interest before final harvest;
If the 4 year holding period has expired, investors who sell their interest on the secondary market will retain the 100% tax deduction they initially received on its purchase price; and
Secondary market investors will be able to deduct all costs associated with the investment (such as interest) as they are incurred.

Further information on the secondary market can be found in this flier Investors win with the announcement of a secondary market for forestry MIS and the article Forests to escape rural schemes axe. Please keep in mind that as at the date of this communication (20 June 2007) the secondary market has not yet been established, the exact workings on how the market will operate are still being determined and limited information has been released.
 

June 2007 - Water update
"We are fast approaching the close date for many of the non-forestry agribusiness funds, many of which are reliant on seasonal rainfall, whether directly or to fill irrigation catchments.  As such, we thought it appropriate to provide an update of seasonal conditions across Australia, including a map of rainfall totals across the country in May.

Certainly Eastern Australia is experiencing much improved seasonal conditions when compared to last year, which has wet catchments and provided good potential for much stronger inflows in the all important winter and spring period.  It should also be noted that the Darling River has started to flow again, bringing much needed relief to orchardists around Bourke in northern NSW.  Anyone who had the opportunity to view the footage of the water finding its way along the dry river bed would have felt their sense of relief.

Let us hope that the talk of a La Nina weather event comes to fruition."

06 June 2007 - A river runs through it - Article from The Daily Telegraph
BEER'S been the only thing flowing in Tilpa for 20 years _ until now. The rapids have finally surged through Colin Middleton's property in the far west.

Three weeks ago the Darling River which passes through grazier Mr Middleton's property at Tilpa in the state's far west was nothing but a dry, cracked riverbed. But on Friday Mr Middleton couldn't believe his eyes when water rapids surged through.

He was so elated he rushed down to the river with his son-in-law Matthew Elliott to capture something he wasn't sure he'd see again. "I thought it was a mirage. I had to drink it to see if it was real,'' Mr Middleton said.

"It was bloody magnificent, it's the first time in 20 years I have seen fresh flowing drinkable water. It's been so desperate for the past six years.''

08 May 2007 - Federal Government listens to Industry - Secondary Market to be introduced
The latest Federal Government Budget included a welcome announcement regarding the introduction of a secondary market for forestry managed investment schemes (forestry MIS).

From 1 July 2007 investors in forestry MIS will be able to trade their interests once they have been held by the initial investor for a period of at least four years.  The four year restriction will apply only to the initial investors in a scheme and will be applicable to interests in pre-existing schemes, meaning that growers who invested in a forestry MIS project prior to 1 July 2003 will be able to trade their interests from 1 July 2007.
