Nutrien Ag Solutions on April 29 said it welcomed a decision by the Supreme Court of Western Australia restraining the Fremantle Port Authority (FPA) from terminating Nutrien’s tenancy at the Kwinana Bulk Jetty (GM April 26, p. 32), pending the outcome of a final decision of the matter.
Nutrien said it instituted the proceedings after it could not reach an agreement with the FPA on its ongoing use of the premises that were damaged by a fire on Feb. 9, 2024 (GM March 1, p. 31; Feb. 16, p. 33).
“We welcome the decision by the Supreme Court today and will continue to work on achieving a resolution to the tenancy dispute to minimize any impact on our customers and farmers across WA,” said Nutrien Managing Director Kelly Freeman. Nutrien said the final hearing is expected to be scheduled to commence in the next few months.
