Purpose

The funding will support the establishment of new long-rotation softwood and hardwood plantation forests and assist the sector to respond to the projected growth in demand for domestically sourced timber resources.

Overview

Through focusing on long-rotation plantation forests, the program’s key intended outcomes are to increase domestic timber supply, particularly construction and manufacturing timber resources, and to contribute to Australia’s carbon emissions reduction commitments.

The objectives of the program are to: 

  • increase future plantation forest resources available for processing, as well as for plantation forest management, harvesting and haulage employment 
  • support private industry, First Nations businesses, farm foresters and state and territory forestry bodies to expand the Australian plantation forest estate
  • contribute to meeting Australia’s carbon emission reduction targets, including under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the Kyoto Protocol to the Climate Change Convention.
