Hand-in-hand with the establishment of Great Southern’s properties, specifically plantations, has been the development of improved infrastructure.
In all its operating regions, the company is working co-operatively with federal, state and local governments to plan future road usage and priorities for upgrading and maintenance. The company works with its employees and the community to make safety a priority issue - haulage routes and the timing of truck movements are designed to avoid conflicts with school buses and other regular road users.
Ports have and will continue to be built and upgraded to handle the anticipated export volumes of the company’s woodchip, providing not only Great Southern, but other users in regional centres with enhanced links to export markets.
