Prime timber onprime-time ‘box’Sunken specialty wood stars in longestrunning reality show with 1.6m viewers
PAGE | OCTOBER 7, 20162
Tasmanian specialty timbers – western beech, sassafras, celery top pine and blackwood, preserved deep under the waters of Lake Pieman on the state’s west coast until being sustainably salvaged under a new operation conducted by Hydrowood.
“It was great coup for Tasmania and Tasmanian timbers to feature on a prime-time national show like The Block,” Hydrowood’s co-founder Andrew Morgan said.
“There was a lot of focus on the spectacular scenery of the west and northwest coast and I hope that this national exposure will aid in driving regional tourism as well as renewed interest in Tasmanian timbers,” he said.
“In terms of Hydrowood – and the timber industry – it’s publicity that money simply cannot buy.
e are con dent it will lead to great interest from viewers as
well as architects, designers and others in the industry seeking highly-sought Tasmanian timbers to use in their construction or furniture projects.
The TV crew, which consisted of 15 vehicles and 32 people, created quite an impression for their lightning-fast visit, before returning to Melbourne to contin e lming the challenge in their Port Melbourne venue.
The Block visited Lake
Pieman to see rst-hand the unique barge-based harvesting operation, then visited a sawmill that mills the timber in Wynyard.
he e co les then had to select from the four specialty Tasmanian timbers to create something in a challenge that will net the winners an additional $10,000 in their renovation budget.
The couples on The Block
are renovating the derelict headquarters of a historic Australian soap and candle factory in Port Melbourne, but at various times throughout the series, they are given a ‘challenge’.
Hydrowood was the next challenge, which aired this week.
Specialty salvaged timbers from the oor of the Pieman Dam gained national recognition last month when furniture and joinery
crafted from the harvest scored at the stralian im er Design Awards in Sydney.
The ‘Pieman Collection’ of Hydrowood products took out the coveted Furniture and Joinery Award, sponsored by Hurford Hardwoods, a third-generation sawmill and manufacturing company at Tuncester on the NSW North Coast.
Andrew Morgan is managing director of SFM Environmental Solutions Pty Ltd, the Battery-point forestry consultant that joined renewable energy provider Hydryo Tasmania and the state government to search for wood at the bottom of Tasmania’s dams.
Mr Morgan says worldwide there are an estimated 300 million trees submerged in dams constructed during the 1950s through to the 1970s from the creation of hydroelectric schemes and water storage.
Often ooded with little sal age undertaken, this forest resource worldwide is estimated to be worth up to $50 billion.

THE world’s tallest timber building has been completed in Canada – four months ahead of schedule.
Expecting to accommodate 700 students by September 2017 the 18-storey tall building Brock Commons at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver got under way in November last year. And is the rst mass wood, steel and concrete hybrid project taller than 14 storeys.
It has two concrete cores and a concrete podium but the rest of the 17 storeys is cross-laminated tim er oors supported on glue-laminated wood columns.
The entire experiment behind this sustainable building is expected to cost about $51.5 million. Using wood in the project rather than other common building materials is a in to ta ing 500 cars o the road a year. That’s a reduction of 2432 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide.
According to the University of British Columbia it will exceed re ired re ratings and standard seismic safety requirements.
“This remarkable building, the rst of its ind in the
world, is another shining example of Canadian ingenuity and innovation, an apt demonstration of how Canada’s forest industry is nding new o ort nities
through technology and innovation – opening up a world of possibilities for our forest and construction industries,” Canada’s Minister
of Natural Resources Jim Carr said.
Brock Commons is living proof that advanced wood
rod cts are a terri c material to build with and support e cient assem l , r Carr said.
The Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson said the project also show-
cased new applications for British Coilumbia lumber, leading to new job opportunities in the province’s forest industry.
hen it was rst started the developers hoped that this would act as an example that would lead to British Columbia’s building codes being revised and making
mass wood construction more common,” Mr Thomson said.
"Taller wood buildings o er tremendo s economic and en ironmental ene ts, said Cees de Jager, general
manager of the Binational Softwood Lumber Council.
“The lessons learned at Brock Commons will help transform the built environment in Canada and around the world. In fact, we are already seeing interest in the systems used here for projects in the US, Japan and China.
Vancouver's Acton Ostry Architects designed the building in collaboration with structural engineer Fast + Epp, tall wood adviser, Architekten Hermann Kaufmann of Austria, and Structurlam in Penticton, BC, which provided the prefabricated wood components.
UBC Properties Trust is managing the project.

FOURTH generation Michigan, USA, lumber merchant Robyn Roose Beckett was elected world president of industry service organisation Hoo-Hoo International at the HHI convention in Cairns last month.
She succeeds Kent Bond of Healdsburg, California, as Snark of the Universe, with Ken becoming chairman of the board.
North American delegates joined Australian and New Zealand members at the Pullman Cairns International Resort from September 9 to 13 for the joint HHI/JIV conventions.
Brisbane Hoo-Hoo Club 218 past president and former JIV president Pieter Verlinden was elected rst ice- resident of HHI at the convention, hosted by Far North Queensland Club 261.
Robyn Beckett and her brother Mark are joint-managers of Ulrich Lumber & Builders Supply in Warren, Michigan, which recently celebrated 87 years in business and has a goal of reaching 100 years or more.
Michigan’s earliest lumbering was by the French who explored and settled there in the 17th century using the logs to build forts, fur-trading outposts and
missions. The British, and later the Americans, used Michigan’s hardwoods to build merchant and war ships.
More than half of the Wolverine state’s land mass is covered by forests. Logging, especially in the state’s northern counties, is a selective process to preserve and protect the remaining old-growth forests.
Tree farming began in 1941,
and now accounts for the overwhelming majority of the nearly 675 million board-feet of lumber produced annually. The state also produces more than 15 million Christmas trees each year, representing about 15% of the nation’s supply.
The 47th JIV Hoo-Hoo Convention and board meeting will be held in Hobart from May 5 to 7 next year. The convention starts at a jam factory for an early morning ‘prowl of Hobart’ and a wander through the streets into the city’s dark past as a convict colony.
The registration form can be found on the website www.hoo-hoo-jiv.org.au or contact [email protected] or 0418 358 501.

EWPAA plywood and LVL production course attendees with EWPAA staff at the Weipa Campus of Bairiki Institute of Technology in Rotorua, New Zealand
THE 2016 plywood and LVL production course run by the Engineered Wood Products Association of Australasia in Rotorua, NZ, last week was deemed a ‘must attend’ event for new recruits in the sector.
he e-da co rse, held at the Weipa Campus of Bairiki Institute of Technology, was attended by 30 delegates from across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji and covered all facets of the production processes for both plywood and LVL,
including peeling, drying, veneer grading and adhesives.
Sessions also included basic structural mechanics, bond evaluation and trouble-shooting, rod ct certi cation, standards, management systems, quality control and costs, as well as the structural properties of both plywood and LVL.
E P EO Da e o er said course participants had provided decidedly positive feedback on the course,
highlighting its importance to those new to the industry, as a comprehensive overview of plywood and LVL production.
“Attendees found the course to be highly relevant to their roles in the industry, and would be applying what they had learnt to their jobs upon their return,” Mr Gover said.
“The continuous reinforcement of sound manufacturing practices and operator-based quality control is fundamental to high reliability
engineered wood products,” he said.
“The attendees also commented that the course was a fantastic networking opportunity, and they enjoyed meeting eo le from di erent roles within the industry.”
The course also included tours to mills and resin development facilities, as well as practical demonstrations and exercises, including chiselling, bond evaluation workshops and strength testing.

WOOLWORTHS has completed the sale of its ro ta le ome Timber and Hardware franchise as part of its $1.5 billion exit from the home improvement sector. The supermarket giant says the $165 million sale of Home Timber and Hardware to Mitre10 owner Metcash has been completed but gave no update on the fate of its loss-making big box hardware chain Masters.
Woolworths and joint venture partner, US company Lowe’s, are heading to arbitration to resol e their di erences o er Woolworths’ plan to exit the business and close all stores in earl Decem er.
In August, Woolworths
announced its plan to rid itself of its home improvement businesses, including the Metcash deal, after sustaining multi-million dollar losses and hefty writedowns from its failed Masters business. Metcash chief executive Ian Morrice said the group was passionate about
supporting the independent hardware sector.
“The increased scale of the combined Mitre 10 and Home Timber and Hardware businesses, together with the o ort nit to realise signi cant e ciencies, will ena le s
to be more competitive and deliver a better outcome for both our hardware retailers and their customers,” he said in a statement on Monday.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission had previously raised concerns about Metcash taking control of Home Timber, Mitre 10’s only rival as a full-service wholesale option for independent hardware and home improvement retailers.
But the competition watchdog cleared the bid in July after Metcash promised to let independent stores buy products from other sources.www.theaustralian.com.au

OneFortyOne announces feasibility study for new particle board mill for the Green TriangleTHE Board of OneFortyOne Plantations (OFO) has agreed to a feasibility study for the construction and operation of a new particle board mill for the Green Triangle region of south east South Australia.
The decision follows a rigorous independent assessment commissioned by the company, and builds on a previous study undertaken by the Association of Green Triangle Growers
(AGTG) in 2014.The feasibility study will
investigate the business and in estment case for the green eld project on land leased by OFO at Tarpeena. It is expected the study will be completed by mid- 2017.
If a decision is made to proceed with the project, it could lead to a signi cant ca ital in estment of around $150 million to build the new particle board mill to supply domestic and export markets.
The new mill could be operational around 2019.
CEO Linda Sewell said the feasi ilit st d re ected the company’s positive view about
the long term future for the forestry and wood products industry in the Green Triangle.
The announcement of the feasibility study will enable OFO to discuss the proposal in more detail with government and industry stakeholders to help inform the assessment of its viability. OFO will continue its normal business of its existing forestry operations while the feasibility study is carried out.
Linda Sewell positive on the long term future.

By EMMA BENTTONWHEN thinking about health and safety in the workplace, it may be easy to overlook mental illnesses.
After all, mental illnesses are, for the most part, invisible. Yet they are very present, with 45 per cent of Australians between the ages of 16 and 85 experiencing mental illness at some point in their lives, making it highly likely that you will supervise or work alongside someone s ering from a mental illness at some point in your career.
How can we know what to look for and how to support our workers with mental illnesses?
A mental illness can originate in or out of the workplace and it s often di c lt to in down one s eci c ca se. ommon causes include:• long-term and ac te stress• genetics, chemistr and
hormones• alcohol, dr gs and other
substances• low self-esteem, negati e
thoughts• social factors s ch as isolation,
nancial ro lems, iolence or family breakdowns
• ex eriencing tra matic e entsMental illnesses originating
in the wor lace often feed o unhealthy work environments, workplace incidents and
con ict etween indi id als, occupational stress and bullying.
There are common mental illnesses resulting from the various stresses in a workplace including, although not limited to, the following:• ost-tra matic stress disorder• rn-o t• ad stment disorder• de ression• anxiet
De ression in artic lar is the biggest mental health risk in Australia, both in and out of the workplace. Only three per cent of Australians identify it as a major health problem, despite the fact that it is the third biggest health risk in Australia after heart disease and cancer. Considering the huge risk depression poses to workers, it would be foolish to not try to implement strategies to support individuals in the workplace – strategies to prevent mental illnesses as well as plans to act in response to
indi id als who alread s er.Di erent em lo ees will need
di erent le els of s ort as they manage their mental health. Some employees may be able to manage their illness with little to no impact on their work, while others may need short-term support in the workplace to assist them. Others may need ongoing workplace strategies to be implemented in order to manage their mental illness.
S eci c strategies will di er from workplace to workplace, but there are three directions that can be taken when thinking about strategies to help individuals in the workplace.
he rst set of strategies is environment-related. Thinking about how the environment can be changed and how organisational structures can be shifted to reduce the stresses of a job at their source.
Once all has been done to reduce stress at the source, it
is time to think of the workers themselves. Changing the way in which individuals respond to stress in the workplace can be a step in the right direction. For example, promoting positive reinforcement can drastically change the mindsets of workers. Focussing on the aspects of a job done well instead of emphasising what needs to e xed or what was done wrong can promote the positive thinking that may be a contributor to the alleviation of work-related stress.
Thirdly, early detection, treatment of a ected wor ers and supporting rehabilitation is essential in the promotion of mental health. This third way of thinking is focused on being reactive when it comes to mental illnesses. Knowing the warning signs, promoting healthy discussion about any issues workers may be having and being able to provide contact to practical support for a ected wor ers is a great ste to getting your workers to return to full health.

A NEW timber design guide aims to help designers, architects, engineers and other built environment professionals to act on the recent changes to the National Construction Code.
The changes from May 1 made timber construction systems suitable for the deemed-to-satisfy pathway for class 2, 3 and 5 buildings up to 25 m in height, which is generally between four and eight storeys, depending on the oor-to-ceiling ratio.
The provisions cover both
traditional lightweight timber framing and engineered timber systems including cross-laminated timber and glulam.
As part of the changes, the code s eci es the se of re-protective plasterboard and a tomatic re s rin ler s stems. Another requirement is for adequate acoustic performance.
The new design guide by WoodSolutions sets out the details of how to ensure projects achieve compliance with the NCC requirements.
he o ort nities o ered the code change are exciting and ha e the otential to ene t many projects, especially in the mid-rise multi-residential sector,” Forest and Wood Products Australia national
marketing and communications manager Eileen Newbury said.
Designing and constr cting these buildings in timber will be unfamiliar to some of the professionals involved and this is the rst of a series of guides we will be publishing to assist them understand the performance requirements, the available design options and to make the transition to using the new timber systems as e cientl as ossi le.
BILL Kranenburg loomed large across the timber industry both in Australia and abroad for more than 50 years.
Everything about Bill was large … his knowledge of all things wood; his communication skills; his teachings that helped lift new industry recruits to the top of the corporate ladder; his stature (he stood 6ft 4 in. tall); and his devotion to the family unit – wife Willy, who he married 54 years ago, three children, Hans, Bill and Marianne, 11 grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.
Bill died at his home in Samford last Sunday, aged 78. Willy was in Holland at the time with son Hans attending her brother’s birthday party in Uithoorn in North Holland.
t was a sad and di c lt ight home for mum,” Hans said.
I remember a day in February six years ago when Bill, who had retired as an independent consultant, gifted a virtual treasure trove of his technical notes, training manuals and timber samples from around the world to Timber Queensland, which represented 25 years of work put into the industry in
stralia and the Paci c region.This wealth of information
included material related to
training and stress grading programs, sales courses, liaison with DP Forestr , conferences he addressed in Australia, China and North America and his advisory work on timber constr ction in the Paci c Islands.
All of this was packaged with an extensive selection of colour slides and timber species collected around the world.
Bill, a widely-respected timber grader and trainer who operated Kranenburg International Timber Training (KITT) from 1991 to 2008, had retired, completing
more than half a century in the timber business in Australia and the Netherlands, his home country.
Bill and Willy arrived in Australia in 1972. He worked in the design and construction industries before joining the Queensland Timber Industry Training Council in Brisbane in 1984 to help with the introduction of F ratings for timber and new bracing standards.
The day he arrived in Brisbane he said he was now an Aussie; seldom did he speak in his native tongue.
A long-time supporter of Brisbane Hoo-Hoo Club 218, he was president from 1996-97, number 95808.
Bill has written and edited e oo s that incl de detailed
records and stories of the Kranenburg family and his time as a young boy in Nazi- occupied Holland.
He recounts how his family foraged for food and root vegetables dug up in surrounding elds were the sta le diet. t a
restaurant with Bill some years ago, we were served ‘gourmet’ potato skins cooked in olive oil with sea salt. Looking at his plate aghast, Bill refused to eat them!
Bill was active in his retirement and was a volunteer travel ambassador at Brisbane International Airport and at the Tourist Information Centre.
Bill and Willy moved from their lovely Kranenburg-renovated Queenslander at The Gap to a village-style residence at Samford on the edge of the 25,000 ha Brisbane Forest Park, where a celebration of Bill’s life will take place next Tuesday, following a funeral service at 9.30 am at the Albany Creek Crematorium.
Rust in vrede, Bill. – JIM BOWDEN.

The Komatsu 875 forwarder – in a class of its class
KOMATSU Forest’s Komatsu 875 is a brand new forwarder model and is unique in the 16-ton load capacity class. From its chassis and powertrain to its crane and bunk, this new model is designed to deliver a higher load capacity in its rimar a lication nal logging – and when there are particularly high demands in terms of productivity.
The increase in productivity is due in part to a larger bunk, FlexBunk, the height and width of which can be adjusted from the cab. Other contributing factors are the new, sturdier powertrain, with its higher engine power/torque and traction, fantastic terrain mobility provided by the Komatsu Comfort Bogie with portals, a boat-shaped chassis with high-tensile steel underneath, and a front blade that can be raised higher than ever. The intelligent transmission, which optimizes power and speed based on terrain, load, the engine’s power output and whether you are also using the crane, has been supplemented with a larger hydrostatic pump and hydrostatic motor for even better handling.
Komatsu 875 comes with the option of a newly-developed crane with a gross lifting torque of 145 kNm and a gross slewing torque of 38 kNm. The combination of an improved hydraulic system and, among other features, a larger crane valve and hydraulic pump ensures superior productivity and outstanding crane operation. The crane with a single extender reaches a full 8.5 meters and has plenty of net lifting power thanks to the weight-optimized boom system.
The machine has been designed throughout to ensure excellent reliability in tough
conditions, and the new axles and a new articulated joint and frame system are all built to last. This saves money in the long term by reducing downtime and maintenance. The articulated oint and dri e shaft are tted with a new type of bearing seat seal for a long service life and lower service costs.
The new engine installation features a new, generously sized cooling system, variable temperature-controlled fan control, and the latest in environmental engineering for diesel engines (Tier 4), with SCR technology but without the need for exhaust gas recirculation. This, together with the new hydraulic system, delivers low fuel consumption and a high power output at low engine speeds. The new engine reduces emissions of NOx and soot particles. Larger batteries, with the option for battery condition diagnostics ia the eet management system MaxiFleet, ensure that the machine starts even on cold, subarctic winter mornings.
The new look of the machine gives it a powerful yet smart appearance, and the numerous improvements make servicing the machine even easier. The new rounded engine hood is electrically powered and can be used as a service platform in the o en osition. ll lters are located beneath the hood, for easy access. There are 8 service hatches in the chassis providing access where it is needed most. A drain valve under the engine
makes it easy to replace the engine oil without spillages. Easily accessible inspection points for oil in the engine, di erentials and gear ox.
As always with a Komatsu forwarder, the operator is the focal point. The most modern forwarder cab on the market has once more been upgraded. Improved operator protection is provided by a sturdier cab framework, a FlexGate patented full height gate, and
windows secured with bolts for straightforward replacement of worn windows. Some of the other upgraded features include a start button, central locking with a remote control key, additional work lights and MediaZone. The cab suspension, Komatsu Comfort Ride, delivers unbeatable operator comfort.
Komatsu 875 is supplied complete with the market’s most modern control system, MaxiXplorer. The fully-integrated crane scale, Protec Scale, enables the load to be weighed automatically for production follow-ups and operational monitoring. The scale link is just as compact as a standard link and protects the hose routing for the rotator. Production can

A NATIVE of She eld, So th or shire, Darren nter
grew up on the outskirts of the city within easy reach of the countryside and woodlands. From nishing school – in which I achieved a high standard level in woodwork and art drawing – I got an apprenticeship as a woodworking machinist with a large joinery company. After three years with extensive college education I put myself through night school to learn CNC machining.”
Hunter spent time as a sho tter and in itchen manufacturing, before emigrating to New Zealand in 1989. Within a year he had moved out of the manufacturing environment and into education – working for the University of Auckland’s School of Architecture as a teaching technician in the woodworking shop.
Coming into contact with students who saw no limits to furniture designing brought forth Hunter’s latent design talent and ideas, helping him to break away from his production environment past.
“After six or seven years of teaching I needed to leave the institutional world. I went building for a short time and then got a sales position with a timber importer – making some great contacts back into the commercial eld of woodworking.”
He then changed tack, leaving Auckland for Tairua on the Coromandel’s east coast where he set up shop and started creating furniture pieces and building kitchens. “After two years of beach life I moved back to Auckland to work for BBS Timbers Ltd – an importer of exotic timbers and l woods rstl in sales and then as manager of the Auckland branch for eight
years. I still work part time for them
in a marketing/sales support role and
website design.”Sustainable change
of paceHunter and his
partner then decided to move to the far north
of New Zealand, just inland from Mangonui, looking for a change of pace and to live s staina l o
the land. “The far north holds
a great spirit within the land
and the beaches are stunning. I
was able to set up shop and work till the early
hours of the morning if I felt compelled to.
“I believe life is a challenge. We either thrive or survive and I choose thrive. Living
sustainably is the natural way of day-to-day life – chopping your own wood for the winter months to keep the water hot and the re rning xing silted water i es and drains; and harvesting fruit and vegetables. These are all things we take for granted in urban living.”
Hunter handcrafts an eclectic range of ne f rnit re, from tables and chairs to cabinets and boxes with all manner of uses. He is equally at home working with solid timber, veneer or plywood – and applying a variety of oiled, waxed or lac ered nishes.
His connection to the environment is increasingly re ected in his wor nota l the na ticall in enced Mangonui (Big Shark), a walnut and maple dining table complete with whalebone rib cage undercarriage, designed for a client’s house that o erloo s Do tless a . t s an area rich in whaling history, including nearby Butler Point – site of a whaling museum that houses a comprehensive collection of industry artefacts.
Sophisticated design touches are also prominent in his work – among them a curved chest of drawers (Lady Madonna) that features a push-to-open system, negating the need for handles which would detract from the elegant lines. And the leaf-shaped, autumn-inspired Tree of Life table that incl des leaf eins lled with luminescent resin.Design dependent

depends on the design of a piece. If I had to pick, maybe it would be the American species of cherry, walnut or maple.
“When I arrived in New Zealand I fell in love with heart rimu and kauri. In regard to texture and colour they hold the depth of solid wood furniture but are not a necessity in design. With my involvement in the exotic tim er eld fa o r these
more than local timbers.”In the evolution of his
approach to design, Hunter tal s of eing in enced the modernist and minimalist ideas of Scottish architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. He has also recently been inspired by the naturalness and organic expressiveness of George Nakashima’s timber slab pieces; and by Irish furniture designer Joseph Walsh’s “unique way of transforming tim er into free- owing
shapes of art”.Client contact
Hunter sees the commissioning of a singular piece of furniture as an enormously rewarding and
pleasurable experience. “After
initial contact I prefer
to visit a client’s home to see where the piece will stand. I like to get a feel for the environment before designing starts and I encourage a client to trust my colour and grain choice. Each piece must add to an environment’s beauty without necessarily dominating.”
e is a rm elie er in clients being totally involved throughout the process. “Connecting with a client who wishes to have their unique piece made by me is imperative. They should be able to touch the design model or the piece of selected wood – and thus emotionally respond to the grain and texture, giving them a three-dimensional connection to the end result.”
How a particular piece of wood ages is also important to Hunter – and that his work will be around for other generations to enjoy. “I love antique furniture not necessarily for design reasons but for the stories the pieces hold over many generations. Modern, factory-made pieces can never have this depth of feel. “

Forging strong relationships at arboretum
THE Queensland division of the Institute of Foresters of Australia is forging strong relationships to support Brisbane’s iconic Sherwood Arboretum, the site of the popular International Da of Forests acti it in arch this year.
The heritage-listed arboretum, located on 15 ha of riverside land in Brisbane’s western suburbs, has a strong history of involvement from notable foresters. The arboretum is unique – its collection of about 1100 trees and more than 300 species is mostly native to Queensland.
The arboretum was established in 1925 to showcase important forest and commercial timber species and the a lication of scienti c methods of forestry for the ongoing ene t of the state and the education and interest of the community.
Symbolically, Sherwood r oret m was o ciall
o ened on orld Forestr Da , March 21, 1925, with a planting of 72 Queensland kauri (Agathis robusta) along a central promenade named Sir Matthew Nathan Avenue in honour of the popular Queensland Governor.
The site was initially known as Sherwood Forest Park. Forestry
professionals were represented at the historic planting, including the pioneering Lahey family, W. D. Francis of the eensland Herbarium and Edward Swain, then district Inspector of Forests, who ecame Director of Forests in 1928.
Moving the clock forward 91 years and the connection between current-day foresters and the forestry history of the arboretum is being fostered between the Queensland division of IFA and the Friends of Sherwood Arboretum FOS , a non- ro t, ol ntar community association, which has worked in partnership with Brisbane City Council since 1986 caring for the arboretum.
In the last year, the IFA has become a corporate member of FOSA, with representation on its executive. The IFA is contributing to the content on the Sherwood Arboretum website and has partnered with the city council and FOSA to plant the Queensland Forestry Grove in May 2016.
An enthusiastic team from the Queensland IFA division, assisted by FOSA, planted the Grove which features 10 of the state’s top rainforest timber trees.
Curator of Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens Dale Arvidsson, Kerrie Catchpoole, senior project offi cer, forest industries, DAF, and IFA member David Doley, plant trees at the Sherwood Arboretum.

BANK or Broker?Some may say this is a time
versus money equation but in reality it is not!
If you can obtain the same interest rates (or better) on Equipment Financing through a broker then the answer is simple, use a broker!!!Time spent
Your broker should handle the entire Equipment Financing
rocess from start to nish with minimal input from you which re resents a signi cant timesaving compared to dealing with the banks.Convenience
Your Equipment Finance Broker should always be available on mobile after hours (including weekends) and come to you when and where you need them.Relationship
Your Equipment Finance Broker typically owns their own business as you do and they
will be there year after year for decades to come. They will know your business and be able to easily represent your Equipment Loan requirements to the market. No having to re-educate a revolving door of brand new account or bank managers every two years or so.Spreading your debt
Your Equipment Finance Broker should be placing your business across a broad base of nance nderwriters which will provide a strong foundation of s orting nanciers going forward who will compete for your Equipment Loans as you grow.
It is an interesting view that banks have in that they are concerned if you have a concentration risk with a particular client or industry, however conveniently ignore this as they push to have all of o r nance with them.
Keeping the powder dry
Understanding that banks have documents which tie all securities to all debt, company owners often unwittingly bootstrap their Equipment Finance to their property debts.
This can often lead to reduced borrowing capacity in the eyes of the bank when clients are looking to obtain more working capital against what they see is clear equity in their properties.
Arranging your Equipment Loans away from your existing bank negates this issue.Getting the right approval.
Any Equipment Finance Broker worth their salt will understand what a good Equipment Financing approval
looks like and ensure they negotiate those terms with the broad base of the competing nance nderwriters a aila le
to them and these approvals are so often superior to what is available through the clients own bank.What is the market saying?
The statistics state over 50% of business owners use brokers for the majority of their e i ment nancing needs and this percentage is increasing every year.
Just as company owners use an insurance broker to ensure they have the right insurance cover for the business, an increasing majority now take the same view for the equipment nancing needs.In a world where service
providers are judged on what their community (clients) say about them as opposed to what they say about themselves, it is little wonder the banks continue to lose ground in this area.
