Plant More Trees – Use More Timber – Save The Planet
Timber Queensland was formed out of the merger between the Queensland Timber Board, and the Timber Research And Development Advisory Council (TRADAC) in July 2003.
Timber Queensland, as the peak industry body, is funded by the forest and timber industries and represents most segments (including sawmills, loggers, treaters, fabricators and wholesalers) of the industry to government and the wider community. A key role of Timber Queensland is to support and encourage the development and expansion of the forest industry as a means of securing the long-term business viability of its members.
The focus of current activity is based upon increasing the per-capita consumption of timber in Queensland and thus providing business opportunities right along the value chain, from growing trees to using timber products in end-use applications. |
