Australis Plants is owned and operated by Greg O’Sullivan, and specializes in olive and other fruit trees, as well as the production of grafted native plants. In 2014 Greg participated in the Queensland Government funded Rural Water Use Irrigation Futures project (RWUE-IF) and had an Irrigation Drainage and Energy Management Plan (IDEMP) developed for Australis Plants with an action plan to improve the water use efficiency of the business. Australis Plants was also involved in the Queensland Government funded Energy Savers Plus Program Extension (ESPPE) project. In this project an energy audit was conducted and a number of recommendations were made on changes that could be made to improve energy efficiency and reduce electricity costs.
