Basslink Pty Ltd

The Basslink interconnector is the world's second longest undersea electricity cable and is owned by CitySpring Infrastructure Trust. Basslink Pty Ltd also owns Basslink Telecoms, which provides wholesale transmission services between Tasmania and Victoria. The electricity cable provides us with long term, regular and predictable revenues from Hydro-Electric Corporation, an entity owned by the stable Tasmanian Government. Our investment is secure and Tasmania has security of electricity supply. This is a win-win for everyone involved.

- Malcolm Eccles, Chief Executive Officer & Director Basslink Pty Ltd

Tasmanian Alkaloids

Tasmanian Alkaloids was acquired by Johnson & Johnson in 1982. We cultivate and produce poppies that are by far the highest quality in the world.  Tasmania is an excellent site not only for the first class agricultural land and the weather conditions but also because there is a secure and law abiding community, stable, reliable and hard working workforce and good industrial infrastructure with highways, water reticulation, hydro-electricity and government services.

- Anatole Sereda, General Manager Tasmanian Alkaloids
