The Holt-Sutherland Estate Land Company Limited was formed in 1881 to lease 12,000 acres of Thomas Holt's Sutherland estate. The Company subdivided much of the land and leased it to tenants for ninety nine years. In 1900 the Holt Sutherland Estate Act enabled tenants to convert their land to freehold title. The Company went into voluntary liquidation and re-formed several times. In 1899 it became the Holt Sutherland Estate Company Limited; in 1916 the Holt Sutherland Company Limited; in 1933 the Holt Sutherland Company (1933) Limited, and in 1960 the Holt Sutherland Company Pty Limited.
