1. The lemon orchard along with the bare land is the approximate gross area with potential for development - the actual area will need to be determined by survey. When converting bare
land and lemon orchards to kiwifruit, we have allocated 85% of the area to kiwifruit canopy hectares, and 15% to access ways and shelter belts. Based on this we estimate that 57.71
hectares of available development land would yield 45.65 canopy hectares of kiwifruit and 4 canopy hectares of avocado.
2. Rising Sun #2 is a contract, subject to subdivision, to buy a further 15.4 hectares of adjoining land. Rising Sun land is suitable for avocado development.
3. Title area includes access ways, shelter belts and land not suitable for horticulture.
4. Title area as per draft concept plan, and subject to completion of land subdivision.
