Investment Highlights

Productive Sugarcane Region
- Ability to acquire within a region which is renowned for its high-quality soils, secure water, and ideal climate which underpins high yielding sugarcane production.
Situated in North Queensland within a climatic region characterised by hot summers, mild winters, and ample sunlight hours.
- The Property features Barratta clay soils, renowned for producing high commercial cane sugar (CCS) levels.
- Current management has maintained the Property to a high standard, implementing a gypsum program to maximise yields.

Scale & Configuration
- Averaging nearly 24,500* tonnes over the past five years and capable of producing 33,000* tonnes (2021 season), the Property stands out as an operation of scale within the sought-after Burdekin region.
- 319.67* Hectares of productive land across three contiguous Freehold Certificates of Title.
- The Property is designed for efficient intensive cropping, maximising production capability. 1.5* km field lengths with large square paddock configuration reduces farm management and watering time.

Strategic Location
- 30* minutes southwest of Ayr and 60* minutes southeast of Townsville, providing excellent access to agricultural support services, end-markets and a high level of amenity.
- Proximity to Invicta Sugarcane Mill and associated receival sidings reducing harvest costs.
- The Property's access is benefited by bitumen road access through to the Bruce Highway.

Water Security
- Developed to flume flood irrigation and strategically set up for ease of operations.
- Secure water through the Property's 2,501* ML's of Sunwater Burdekin/Haughton River Channel Allocation.
- All irrigation is interconnected via underground across the entire Property, including recycle pit capturing run-off water for reuse.
- Irrigation infrastructure: Four pumps connected to three phase power provide sufficient flow rate for efficient watering.
- The Property is considered to have an average annual rainfall of 958.6* millimetres per annum.

Opportunity for everyday investors to gain agricultural investment exposure
- Currently leased to Wilmar, a leading agribusiness operator, with the lease secured through January 2029. This presents an attractive turnkey opportunity for investors seeking agricultural exposure with stable income and no management obligations.
- The lease can also be relinquished following negotiations with lessee.

Flexible Cropping Platform
- Fully established irrigation infrastructure supports primary sugarcane operations while enabling rotation opportunities with legume crops (soybeans, mung beans) during fallow periods, enhancing both soil health and revenue streams. The Aggregation is also suited to produce a wide range of small crop and horticultural products as produced in the region.

Emerging Revenue Pathways
- The Property's operational profile positions it favourably for participation in developing market opportunities including biofuel production, integration into existing livestock supply chains through feedstock production, carbon credit programs, and sustainability-linked revenue models increasingly valued by institutional investors.

Compelling Market Positioning
- Attractive proposition for southern operators seeking geographic diversification, extended growing seasons, and reduced weather exposure.
