Wilmar Sugar and Renewables has confirmed the start dates for its 2025 North Queensland crushing season, with the first of its eight sugar mills set to fire up from Monday 3 June.
Operations will begin in the Burdekin and at Plane Creek Mill in Sarina on 3 June, followed by the Herbert region on 10 June. Proserpine Mill will be the last to come online, with a planned start date of 17 June.
Pre-season commissioning is already well under way, with steam trials scheduled to begin at Inkerman Mill in the Burdekin on 13 May.
In preparation for the season, RSU and locomotive driver training commenced earlier this week across Wilmar’s milling regions. From Tuesday 6 May, empty cane trains began running on the cane rail network during daylight hours.
Motorists are urged to be vigilant at cane railway crossings and to observe all signs and signals throughout the pre-season and crushing period.
