Tellus Holdings Ltd (“Tellus”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Logistics Services and Infrastructure Services Agreement with Toll Group (“Toll”), Australia’s leading logistics provider. This agreement involves Toll identifying up to eight waste storage and transfer facilities across Australia for materials that ultimately will be stored, recovered or permanently isolated at Tellus facilities.
The agreement will see the companies leverage their complementary assets, capabilities and services. Tellus has also appointed Toll as its preferred logistics partner, providing industry best practice services to our customers.
The Agreement significantly progresses Tellus’ national infrastructure footprint strategy whereby Toll will identify at least one storage and transfer facility in Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory and Victoria and up to two in Queensland (one in northern Queensland and one in Brisbane); and up to two in New South Wales (one in Sydney and one in Newcastle).
The first of these existing facilities is expected to be operational for Tellus customers in the second half of 2017.
Toll will also provide input and expertise for the transport and logistics infrastructure and operations required to support Tellus’ projects in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Importantly, the parties will work together to identify opportunities to provide a holistic transport, storage, recovery and permanent isolation service across the existing Tellus and Toll customer base and new potential customers.
“Under this agreement with Tellus, the ability to market a broader range of services to customers is an exciting growth prospect for both companies,” Managing Director of Toll, Brian Kruger said.
“We are delighted to sign this important agreement with Toll which significantly progresses our national supply chain model, to bring Tellus assets online and begin providing an innovative service to our customers,” Managing Director of Tellus, Mr Duncan van der Merwe said.
