Hundreds want in on Hermal project
01 June 2018
Tasmanian Government:
So far, more than 500 people and
businesses have shown interest in the
Hermal Group’s $190 million Cross
Laminated Plantation
timber mill and production
facility.
There have been 350 inquires about employment opportunities at the mill,
and 150 businesses who have offered to help complete work on the
project.
The ground-breaking project gives a significant boost to business
confidence in the region and the forestry industry.
Once complete, the new facility will be Australia’s largest
plantation-based hardwood mill and the first ever hardwood
cross-laminated production plant.
It was announced just last week that the 80-hectare facility will be
located in Hampshire, in
Tasmania’s North-West.
The Hermal Group have advised that they will lodge a Development
Application with the Burnie City Council and have committed to an open
and transparent approach to the regulatory process. This will involve
information sessions with the local community.
The Hodgman Liberal Government has given its full support to this
game-changing project and the hundreds of
jobs it will provide in the
North-West.
We will also provide a $13 million grant and training support, and a
loan of up to $30 million will also be available to support the project.
