00:00 Today is the official opening of our brand new state of the art corrugated box business.
00:05 We started I guess planning about two years ago.
00:09 We turned soil in October 21 and today is I guess the official opening day so a bit
00:16 over 18 months.
00:17 The facility is world class in terms of just the state of the art manufacturing that's
00:23 here but also the sustainability piece around the water harvesting and we're really about
00:31 trying to build a really great culture here so the team are really engaged and they're
00:36 really proud of what they've been able to produce today.
00:38 So the project itself through the project stage there was about 450 jobs associated
00:46 generated from that and on an ongoing basis it'll mean about 400 jobs both from the regional
00:52 perspective as also a broader Melbourne base.
00:57 This facility positions us in the middle of our sort of vertical integrated supply chain.
01:05 It's a great area for various parts of sectors of our business so we're really excited about
01:11 the growth prospects.
