Award winning Woodlea Nursery is sited on 27.37 ha in a pristine environment on a beautiful north east slope. It was established in 1979 to grow Eucalypts for re-vegetation and has now over recent years diversified into other markets lines like natives & exotics for retail customers, land-care groups and farmers, grapes for the expanding Tasmanian vineyard industry, berries and vegetable seedlings, radiate pine and eucalyptus for plantation. It was the first Tasmanian nursery with Vine Industry Nursery Accreditation and the second to receive NIASA certification. The nursery has won the NGIT Best medium production nursery award 7 years in a row. This is a testament to the dedicated staff, key performance indicators and efficient processes. Woodlea Nursery encompasses an environmental ethic that includes recycling, low pesticide and fungicide use, water run-off reuse, filtering including a wet land and modern efficient irrigation technology. All waterways are fenced off and vegetated; chemical and fuel areas are bounded. The infrastructure consists of an 825m2 greenhouse, 1,250m2 multi span twin-skin greenhouse, germination room, a climate controlled propagation house, and huge sheds. Situated on this beautiful property is a 4 bedroom home in landscaped surroundings with lawns running to a swimming dam.
Now is the perfect time to be investing this Nursery. New opportunities add to existing markets to present growth opportunities for the business. Relationships and supply contracts have been established with garden centres (including Bunnings), forest companies (including Norske Skog), and vegetable growers. Woodlea has supplied grapevines for almost all vineyards established in the state, and has an excellent reputation centred on quality. The need for carbon storage is seeing a move back to building with timber, and demands to replant plantations under the Forest agreements mean that forestry planting is sure to improve in coming years.
Some equipment is included in the sale.
