Farming in Australia

Lightwood

Our home is regional Australia, and we strive to support the environment, economy, and the enduring prosperity of regional Australia by the way we invest. Founded in 1984 by Brendon Collins to complement the family’s farming operations, Lightwood grew from an initial focus on sustainable construction to property development and became a recognised leader in sustainable housing within regional Australia. This includes our Elmwood project in Wodonga, being awarded Victoria’s Best Integrated Housing Development in 2013, a 130-townhouse community that remains among Australia’s highest energy-rated homes and the only regional project to receive the honour. Drawing on our foundations in sustainable development in regional Australia, under the next generation of leadership, Lightwood expanded its capabilities to become a preferred landholder and partner for clean energy and digital infrastructure. Our long-term presence and network in regional Australia, together with our focus on energy-dense land with immediate access to available infrastructure and our understanding of how large-scale energy and data projects integrate with regional communities, positions Lightwood to play a meaningful role in Australia’s energy and digital transition.

Southern Forests Food Council

The Southern Forests Food Council was founded in 2010 by a group of passionate local producers who recognised that the wealth and abundance of produce grown in the region made it perfect for major food production and agri-tourism. Its role was formalised in 2012 after receiving a $5 million investment under the State Government’s Royalties for Regions initiative. The investment is part of a $7 million Royalties for Regions allocation to the Shire of Manjimup for its Agricultural Expansion Project. In June 2018 the Southern Forests Food Council secured a further $1 million over three years through the State Government's Royalties for Regions program to support the Council’s on-going activities in developing economic opportunities for the region. The Food Council is committed to unifying the area’s world-class and diverse producers to strengthen the region’s economy, attract investment and export opportunities, promote regional pride, and create sustainable jobs. It represents local producers, culinary and agri-tourism operators who live and work in what is WA’s premier food bowl, aiming to ultimately establish the Southern Forests as an internationally-recognised agricultural region and culinary tourism destination.

Southern Seagreens

Southern Seagreens is the coming together of three friends with a shared love for the sea. By combining our skills, we realised we could work with the sun and sea and learn to farm native seaweed in Victorian coastal waters. Our primary aim is to grow the most sustainable food possible. With the planet on track to host near 10 billion humans by 2050, we need to find smarter and more sustainable ways to produce nutritious food and get it to market. Seaweed requires no soil, fresh water or fertilisers. It’s a zero input crop and it's packed with protein and important nutrients for human health. It also improves the marine eco-system as it grows. The real opportunity we see is to work with creative individuals to explore ways to incorporate kelp into our everyday diet. There are some talented local chefs using kelp and other seaweeds in inspiring ways, and with ideal growing conditions here in Victoria, we think kelp might soon play an important role in our local food system. We were lucky enough to be awarded Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Climate Action Grant last year and this has enabled us to establish a kelp nursery on the Mornington Peninsula. We’re now able to seed juvenile kelp onto twine that we can then take to our aquaculture site off Flinders to grow to maturity. We also dive for Wakame (an introduced but high quality kelp) in local waters that we are turning into nutritious food products. Removing Wakame aids the regeneration of native kelp populations that have been impacted by rising sea temperatures and invasive sea urchins in recent times. Our first products are now available to order online and if you have a trade inquiry please drop us a line. We thank the Mornington Peninsula Shire and Vic Fisheries for their support in helping us play a small part in a bigger movement to do better by the planet.
