(1) Ridolfo Forestry Products Pty Ltd trading as Western Poles Company.
(2) Depots in Picton, Keysbrook and Dwellingup.
(3) The current 5 year contract is estimated to have a total value $120 million however this is dependent on the demand and usage.
(4) Poles are delivered to Western Power depots across the entire South West Interconnected System.
(5) Within urban areas the vast majority of poles are delivered directly to the site where they are required to be in service. Within rural areas poles are most commonly received at a central location (e.g. a depot) and are subsequently distributed to the specific locations where they are required.
