About us
In 2007 the Australian Sandalwood Network (ASN) developed an extensive industry development plan for the sandalwood plantation industry in Western Australia, in partnership with key industry groups.
The ASN is now addressing key industry development issues, through research, grower and industry support and partnership development with industry representatives. The ASN has completed a comprehensive business plan to drive the network and industry forward.
Due to increasing interest by Wheatbelt landowners in the developing sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) plantation industry and a need for grower coordination and increased access to information on all aspects of this industry, a sandalwood grower group was formed in 2003, known as the Avon Sandalwood Network Inc.
In January 2007, the association’s name was changed from the Avon Sandalwood Network to the Australian Sandalwood Network to extend our association membership base and provide strong industry development and grower representation for the exciting emerging industry.
The ASN has grown from being a Western Australian only initiative to having members from all over the country.
