1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: In the cargol might be in for an industrial boom.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: So we've told you about the inland port previously now

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: called a Steward. Have the country's largest ever industrial development

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: lined up five hundred and thirteen hectares two and a

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: half billion dollars have been Murphy, General manager of Property,

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: called the Stewards with us on this one. Been morning

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: to you well, Mike. Thanks having it not at all

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: set to go as it consented. Where are we at

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: with the paperwork?

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: So we do have a fully zoned site there, which

11
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: is I guess the key and locker for this project.

12
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: So that's the exciting part. And we've done an awful

13
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: lot of preparatory work over the last three years and

14
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: to get to a point where we're keen to start

15
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: talking to the market about the opportunity.

16
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: And what's the time frame when's it open?

17
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: Well, as I say, we're being an awful lot of

18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: preparation work leading up to this, a lot of the engineering, design,

19
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: stakeholder engagement and capital investment in terms of master planning

20
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: the site. I guess the site really gets a locked

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: when occupiers come to the table and we're talking to

22
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: a number of national and offshore occupies at the moment.

23
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: But is it twenty thirty, is at twenty forty next year?

24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: We certainly hope not. We think it's in the shorter term, Mike,

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: that's really going to be subject to getting agreement with

26
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: these occupiers to commit to this site, and we certainly

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: think that holds huge opportunity for the region and from

28
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: a national perspective as well.

29
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: Is this a build that they will come, because you're

30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: talking about attracting high output food process as advanced manufacturers,

31
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: clean tech exporters. Are they already there and we'll just

32
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: go to a new location, or are they not there

33
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: and will come a little bit.

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: Of both, We think, Mike, the job that we're undertaking

35
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: at the moment is to make sure that we've got

36
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: a site that's ready to go for occupiers who see

37
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: value in being in this location. That obviously there's a

38
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: huge amount of prime industry in the region, but we

39
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: also think there's opportunity for new business and new sectors.

40
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: And you look at agriculture, high tech manufacturing, and there's

41
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: an awful lot of renewable energy opportunity on site as well.

42
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: So exciting times, it's funny you should say that is

43
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: this where because we've talked about various in landports around

44
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: the country. Is this power generation aspect of but you're

45
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: going to do solar and wind? Is that part of

46
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: so in other words, it's not just a warehouse, it's

47
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: not just a factory. You're generating power as well.

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's correct. A significant amount of the site will

49
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: ultimately look to house a wind farm. We'll also have

50
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: roof mounted solar systems and also ground mounted solar systems,

51
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: So we're looking at a significant amount of power generation

52
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: from the site.

53
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: I wish you all the very boitst will it. Ben Murphy,

54
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,119
