Mary Valley Economic Development Strategy—Prospectus 3

Summary On 18 July 2012, the Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, the Honourable Jeff Seeney MP released the Mary Valley Economic Development Strategy. A core element of the strategy is leveraging the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning’s significant land holdings in the Mary Valley to stimulate economic development. On 27 July 2012, the department began advertising for parties interested in working with the government to develop their projects on government land across the Mary Valley. These properties are suitable for large animal enterprises, poultry, horticulture, tourism and a range of other projects. The department also owns town lots suitable for residential and commercial development and uses that will improve services to residents or create employment. This document provides advice to interested parties regarding:

the Mary Valley Economic Development Strategy and its objectives the existing Mary Valley environment the potential development opportunities and activities that could be

undertaken in the Mary Valley specific properties suitable for a range of economic activities information on how to register interest and progress a proposal.

This document should be read in conjunction with: the Mary Valley Economic Development Strategy, including maps

identifying government land holdings and economic development opportunities

http://www.daff.qld.gov.au/documents/BusinessAndTrade_BusinessDevelopment/MaryEconomicRegion-AgbisGuide.pdf

1. The strategy and its objectives The economic development, land and property management objectives identified below seek to respond to the issues currently facing the Mary Valley community. They also reflect the outcomes sought by the government and the community in their respective efforts to revitalise the Mary Valley. The economic development objectives that drive the Mary Valley Economic Development Strategy include:

bringing agricultural land back to full production supporting economic activity, development and sustainability of the Mary

Valley, building upon its existing strengths and attributes supporting future investment and employment across the Valley ensuring valuable economic elements, such as water licenses are best

utilised encouraging community stability and vitality, including a permanent

residential population providing transparency and certainty for all stakeholders—public, private and

the community encouraging timely and coordinated development.

It is clear that providing certainty about the government’s future intentions regarding the management of its property portfolio in the Mary Valley is required in order to:

improve economic outcomes enable credible decision-making create the conditions for future investment encourage a vibrant and dynamic community achieve economic development objectives.


2. Mary Valley: existing environment Landscape and climate The Mary Valley landscape ranges from Mary River flood plains, which provide rich farming land used for pasture and intensive agriculture though to rainforest and rocky outcrops into the escarpment of the nearby mountain ranges. The climate in the Gympie region is sub-tropical, with rainfall and humidity peaks from November through to March. Industry and agriculture Agribusiness and intensive agriculture development in the Mary Valley is well suited with good quality soils, high rainfall and proximity to major markets. The Mary Valley is ideally located within South East Queensland to service key markets in Gympie, the Sunshine Coast, South East Queensland and beyond.

About the Mary Valley located in hinterlands of Gympie

and Sunshine Coast approximately 130 km north of

Brisbane 2-2.5 hours drive from Brisbane name given to the section of the

Mary River from Gympie upstream to Kenilworth

includes the communities of Kybong, Dagun, Amamoor, Kandanga, Imbil, Brooloo and Kenilworth

The largest employing industry in the Wide Bay Burnett region is agriculture, forestry and fishing. Agricultural production in the middle Mary Valley area was valued at approximately $150M per annum in 2005-2006 (latest reliable statistics available relating to agriculture), and involved approximately 430 000 hectares of farmland. Livestock activities are valued at approximately $100M, while cropping is valued at $50M. Detailed additional information on the attributes of, and opportunities in, the Mary Valley can also be found on the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry’s Mary Economic Region: Agribusiness Guide, which includes detailed information about:

the region agribusiness and opportunities natural resources, including

land and water supporting infrastructure.




3. Development opportunities The government’s landholding is some 13 000 hectares comprising grazing, cropping, intensive agriculture, retail, residential, industrial and small numbers of other land uses. Land use Land use within the Mary Valley is predominantly rural with the river providing an opportunity to create intensive agricultural industries to support economic development of the region. Interest has been shown by some agricultural industries to expand or establish in the Mary Valley. Those industries include production of pecans, ginger, citrus and poultry. The relatively small land parcels in the Mary Valley and its natural environment make it well suited to niche and/or intensive agribusiness development. This is dependent on water rights being available, and providing the land use planning environment supports on-farm value adding. Water allocations and leases The department holds approximate 44 water allocations and 60 water licences. Water allocations have recently been separated legislatively from the land in which they were attached, allowing water allocations to be transacted separately. The strategy allows for water allocations to be bundled together and sold with a property. Water licences still attach to a parcel of land, and are not tradeable separately. Additional irrigation (potentially over 3000 ML/year) may be made available from Borumba Dam upon application. Some properties are encumbered by long-term leases and may need to be dealt with prior to sale. Lots and leases shaded grey below are existing Queensland Water Infrastructure (QWI) leases (or other long-term leases), which may require alternative management and/or divestment arrangements, particularly where these relate to operating economic units. A small number of properties are subject to pre-emptive rights to purchase/first right of refusal. These rights will be addressed prior to considering any interest in these properties. Opportunities A detailed investigation of the Mary Valley landholdings has been undertaken and areas suitable for economic and agricultural development have been identified (Schedule —Map of Mary Valley landholdings and economic development opportunities). Some 20-30 properties have been identified as suitable for economic, agriculture and other uses. A detailed assessment of properties within the landholdings has identified key opportunities for targeted economic development based on an analysis of land suitability for agricultural industries and current land uses. Opportunities and activity are broadly categorised in the following areas:

agricultural economic development opportunities Kandanga township—business and town development tourism and recreation.


A nominal schedule of properties and their allocations is provided below. Although described below as suitable for a single industry, the properties are offered to the market and open for sale to all industries and may be suitable for a number of different uses. Package

3.1 Dairy The Queensland dairy industry is geared toward domestic fresh milk supply. Ongoing intensity in retail competition, disruptions caused by changes in private label supply contracts and uncertainty surrounding processor milk requirements have undermined farmer confidence and stifled production growth. The dairy industry is tightly controlled by the limitations of existing milk quotas. No new milk contracts are being issued by the milk processors and, in some cases, the current quota and price have been negotiated downwards. The department is keen to work with interested parties to explore opportunities to re-establish a stable dairy industry in the Mary Valley, either through the enhancement of existing operations and/or developing opportunities for new entrants where possible. Notwithstanding the above, a number of properties have been identified as being commercially viable for expansion of dairy farming if properties are reconfigured to suit those particular needs. The typical minimum area required for a commercially viable dairy operation is about 100 hectares, with a trend toward increasing farm size. ID Real Property

3.2 Tree cropping (pecans)

There has been no history of tree cropping in the Mary Valley. A possible reason is that the land was originally settled to expand a flourishing dairy industry in the early 1900s and individual lots were not large enough for tree crop cultivation.

Flooding may be a concern for certain large-scale tree crop investment to take place and further investigation would be required by the proponent for an intensive tree crop operation like pecans.

Other tree cropping and forestry opportunities may also be available within the current portfolio other than those listed below. Interested parties should register their interest and requirements with the department in order to investigate the opportunities available.

3.3 Ginger farming Ginger has been grown in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland for a number of years, but not typically in the Mary Valley. Disease-infected land within the Sunshine Coast growing area has resulted in declining crop yields and a requirement for additional imported product. The combination of Buderim Ginger requirements for up to 3000 tonnes of ginger a year and opportunities for import replacement may support the development of viable ginger production industry in the Mary Valley. There are several properties within the Mary Valley portfolio suitable for ginger production. ID Real

3.4 Intensive livestock Several properties have been identified that may satisfy requirement for intensive animal industries, including poultry production. Interest has been received for the development of a chicken farm in the Mary Valley. Current local government planning scheme provisions require reasonable buffer zones where there may be local noise, visual, odour or other impacts and sensitive receptors. For example, the distance to a residential dwelling from a broiler farm is typically at least one kilometre. A commercially viable broiler farm could exist on 50 hectares of more, providing sufficient buffers are provided, ideally through other complementary activities. Broiler farms also require access to roads that allow B-double trucks for transporting, access to quality water and flood free land. Although poultry production is discussed above, other intensive livestock industry could be developed on these sites. ID Real

3.6 Town and small business development and urban expansion There is a range of development opportunities to strengthen the role of towns and villages in the Valley. The government owns most properties in and around the township of Kandanga. Accordingly there is a range of development opportunities to re-establish and plan for the future development of Kandanga. Properties have been identified within the Kandanga township as suitable for small business operation, and will be marketed and presented for sale to promote economic development within the township. Other town development and urban expansion opportunities will be determined as the strategy is progressed. ID Real Property

3.8 Rural residential, lifestyle properties and other non-economic properties At the time of transfer of the Mary Valley properties to the Coordinator-General, the predominant land use was ‘other rural’ and ‘rural residential’. There is somewhat limited scope for the development and/or alternative use of these properties. While the economic development program will seek to maximise opportunities to encourage economic activity and development on these properties where appropriate, it is likely that the majority of these properties will be disposed via open market sales, including to existing tenants where appropriate. These sales will be closely monitored and controlled with sale rates and progress largely determined by market appetite and interest.

Mary Valley Economic Development Strategy—Prospectus - 20 -

4.I’m interested. What next? The opportunities noted should not be viewed as an exhaustive list of all options available within the portfolio or the type and extent of economic opportunities and activities that could be developed in the Mary Valley. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the department to discuss their specific proposal and requirements to determine whether suitable properties are available and steps required to submit a proposal. The department will adopt an individual management approach to proposals in the first instance, noting the type and nature of interest that may be expressed in either specific properties or the government’s landholdings in the Mary Valley more generally. Interest can generally be categorised and will be dealt with as:

economic development opportunities and interest existing tenants other opportunities and open market sales.

4.1 Economic development opportunities and interest Step 1 Interested parties are requested to complete the ‘Registration of interest/requirement’ form attached at Schedule 2. The department will acknowledge receipt of the form within one week. Step 2 The department will then review the contents of the form and allocate a proposal manager where acceptable. The department may provide early advice regarding the suitability of the proposal and alternative options that may be considered. Step 3 The proposal manager will contact the proponent that registered interest, assist them to flesh out the proposal if necessary and outline next steps and indicative timeframes where applicable. Subject to the proposal manager being satisfied that the proposal is sufficiently advanced, the manager may assist in site/proposal matching activities to identify a site/s that may be suitable. The proposal manager will also work with interested parties to develop their respective proposal, including arranging access to other government experts and advice, including the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, which may assist in developing a comprehensive proposal and business case.


Step 4 Depending on the nature of the proposal and divestment schedule, proponents may then be invited to submit further details as part of a formal expression of interest/tender process. The department will provide advice to each party regarding the process through which proposals will be considered. Where appropriate, the proposal manager will confirm the assessment process and next steps, particularly where this may relate to either:

submitting a detailed proposal and formal expression of interest (EOI)/tender for consideration

where the land is subject to a later open market campaign, and its details and timing.

Notwithstanding the above, proponents should be aware that certain key economic development opportunities, and properties in which a number of parties have expressed an interest, may be the subject of specific marketing and sales campaigns. Accordingly, interested parties should contact the department to register their interest as early as possible regarding specific properties in order to be notified when these properties are progressed for sale. Subject to progressing further detailed discussions with individual parties, each party will be provided with relevant documentation that will cover relevant policy, probity, contractual and procedural matters. This will include the Mary Valley property policy and evaluation criteria and methodology applicable to relevant economic development opportunities and/or general sales.

4.2 Indicative criteria Proponents that are eligible for purchasing land under the auspices of the Mary Valley Economic Development Strategy will generally have the potential to provide long-term economic growth to the Mary Valley and region more broadly. They are expected to be new and expanding industries involved in a range of agricultural industries and ancillary activities. The department has prepared a Mary Valley property policy, which covers all aspects of sales, leasing and interaction with existing government land policies. Proposals will be assessed for conformance with the Mary Valley property policy and the overall strategy objectives. Purchasers of economic development units are likely to be selected on the basis of capability, financial depth, track record and appropriateness of the proposed enterprise, in addition to the purchase price tendered. Each proposal will be assessed on an individual merit basis against the following indicative criteria:

merits of the proposed project development (and intended onsite activity), particularly in terms of conformance with the strategy objectives and Mary Valley property policy

technical capability, expertise and experience of the applicant the financial offer and conditions financial backing and capability of the applicant


the proponent’s intentions/commitment to proceed with the proposed development

the proposed use of the land and preferred development of the site existing land use designations local government planning requirements, for example, conditions of approval consistency and/or compatibility with other adjacent industries and activity.

In addition, some expression of interest/sales campaigns may apply specific eligibility or assessment criteria, which will be provided to proponents upon application. Additional information may also be sought from the applicant via an interview. All proposals should be discussed with the department before lodging a formal application.

4.2.1 Terms of sale While the sale of land by the department is typically transacted on a cash basis, development leases for periods of up to five years may be considered. Opportunities for sales and development leases will be at the department’s discretion, however will be positively considered on the basis that a satisfactory business case supports such a request. Sales are typically expected to be executed on a standard contract of sale. Special conditions or considerations may apply where there is a demonstrable case for such, including potential development leases where activities are subject to significant upfront capital investment and development prior to operation. Other incentives such as early access arrangements and rent-free periods may also be considered where a satisfactory business case exists. Proponents are required to provide evidence of their intentions, and may be required to provide security to guarantee performance. It is anticipated that proponents should be willing to provide sufficient deposit or other security, or enter into development leases where required prior to settlement. In certain circumstances the department will make land available in the Mary Valley on a priority basis or via an open market tender/EOI campaign. Proponents are advised that land will be made available for purchase at market value. Prospective purchasers should ensure they have sufficient funds available, by discussing the proposal with their relevant lending institution, prior to making an detailed application or submitting formal EOIs/tender. Proposal managers will also provide advice regarding other applicable conditions of sale. The detail of these arrangements will be determined as part of each assessment process and may vary on a case by case basis. All proposals should be discussed with the proposal manager before lodging a formal application. Any additional information that will assist in processing the proposal should be included with the application.


4.2.2 Development plans and planning approvals All proponents must comply with requirements of the relevant local government for issues, such as town planning, building construction, and site works. Accordingly, once an application is approved, all local government approved plans must then be submitted prior to settlement. The requirements of the relevant government departments, including the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, and the Department of Natural Resources and Mines, and any other relevant authorities must also be met to ensure adverse impacts in surrounding areas are minimised, especially in relation to air, water and noise emissions.

4.3 Existing tenants Existing tenants will receive separate advice regarding the operation of the strategy. However, tenants are also invited to express their interest in purchasing the properties they current lease and/or other properties within the current government portfolio, particularly where it relates to the re-establishment and/or expansion of existing industries. Existing tenants should also complete the attached Registration of interest form.

4.4 Other interest and open market sales Please contact the department to discuss your requirements or to register your interest in open market sales of non-economic development properties. Alternatively, visit the department’s website regularly for updates. These sales will be progressed in a controlled manner, where these do not impact on other economic development opportunities or significantly adversely impact the local property market. Details of these opportunities will be released progressively as these properties are brought to the market.
