10 years after the 2003 bushfires, the National Arboretum has risen on a burnt-out timber plantation, old forests of cork, cedar and oak have been regenerated, and interspersed with secret gardens, sculpture, play and learning spaces.
The renewal of such a major site presented symbolic opportunities – what was destroyed by nature’s savagery could be healed by enlightened ecological strategies. One of the declared aims of the project was to protect the tenuous survival of plant species in a climatically challenged world. The Arboretum is now a ”seed bank” for over 100 botanical species.
Queensland Treasurer Andrew Fraser told Parliament today that Hancock Queensland Plantations has won the 99-year license for the timber plantation business for $A603 million. Mr. Fraser has signed the contract on Tuesday morning. The Government was anticipating a sale price of $A500 million earlier for the timber license.
“By reaching agreement on a price of $A603 million, this exceeds original expectations and is great news for Queensland taxpayers,” said Mr. Fraser to the state parliament today.
According to the deal, Hancock will get around 35000 hectares of freehold land to grow and harvest the trees. This land was reported about 10% of the total estate of the Queensland.
Hancock Queensland Plantations is subsidiary of Hancock Timber Resource Group, a US based Timber Company. Hancock Timber Resource Group manages more than 2 million hectares of timberlands across the United States, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
