The Tasmanian forestry sector is an integrated industry that encompasses both native forest and plantation resources. Tasmania's forests are sustainably managed. The managed production forests yield some of the strongest commercially usable timbers available.
Tasmania's sustainable forest sector produces high quality hardwood products including beautiful timbers which are held in high regard by architects, craftspeople and artists.
The production of logs, woodchips, pulp and paper, veneer and other wood products is a key part of our economy and Tasmania is the only state in Australia that is a net exporter of forestry products.
Harvesting from Tasmania's plantation estate will significantly increase over the next decade providing greater opportunities for the processing of plantation timber. Opportunities also exist for engineered wood products manufacturing and bioenergy along with the potential for particle board production.
The sector operates under well-established environmental standards and native forest resource is only harvested outside of the extensive reserves systems, designed to maintain environmental values.
Potential investment opportunities in this sector include:
