Membership is restricted to those growers who make application and pay the prescribed membership fee. Growers who choose not to join the association and contribute to the costs of the battle to re-instate Growers interests (the so-called “free-riders”) will not be directly represented in any future negotiations.
Members interests will be paramount in accordance with the Rules of Association and every effort will be made to ensure that members re-coup the value of their membership fees, in due course.

SMTT is the only organisation concerned with the rights and interests of the Tiwi Growers.
Growers stand to lose their total investment in Tiwi plantations if they do not fight for their rights.
The Tiwi Growers were abandoned by the Receivers and Managers of Great Southern Managers Australia Ltd, the former responsible entity.
Gunns Plantations Ltd, the responsible entity for the former Great Southern Schemes of the 2005 and 2006 plantations have declared that Tiwi growers have no economic interests in the pooled harvest proceeds to be derived from those schemes.
Ferrier Hodgson, the Liquidator of the Great Southern Group, has declared their intention to wind up the Sylvatech Schemes and those Great Southern Schemes with 2007 and 2008 plantations on the Tiwi Islands.
