Overview

Forestry and timber have been key contributors to the development of the South West region of Western Australia. Harvesting native jarrah and karri hardwoods was one of the first major industries in the region. The South West continues to be recognised as a primary source of high quality hardwood timber.

Softwood timber (pinus radiata) plantations have progressively increased while the logging of native forests has been reduced to accommodate sustainable native forest management policy and practices. Softwood accounts for about 62 per cent of the region’s log harvest. Hardwood is a higher value product and generates 53 percent of the value of log production from 38 per cent of the harvest.

Manjimup, Dardanup and Greenbushes are the major centres in the South West for sawn timber and timber products, such as panelling and trusses.

In 2012, 1.4 million tonnes of woodchips were exported from the Bunbury Port.

Native forests in Western Australia are well managed under a Forest Management Plan (FMP 2004 – 2013) which conforms with the seven principles of the Montreal Criteria

of Sustainability.

The principal species available in the South West are:

Jarrah, Karri and Marri – first, second and third grade native timber

Pinus Radiata

Tasmanian Blue Gum

Investment opportunities

An unsold resource of about 725,000 cubic metres of native forest logs may be available for processing, subject to the conditions of the new FMP. The resource consists of:

Jarrah and other bole volume – 300,000 m3

Karri and other bole volume – 160,000 m3

Marri – 155,000 m3

Wandoo, blackbutt and sheoak – 2,000 m3

Non-bole (crown) wood – 100,000 m3

Other opportunities are:

Sawnwood – Manufacture of pallets and packaging

Engineered wood products – LVL and MDF

Biofuels

Roundwood

Furniture manufacturing

Woodchips

Biochar

Competitive advantages

The South West’s temperate climate, rainfall patterns and soil types sustain healthy plantation growth.

The South West timber industry continues to be competitive through:

Skilled labour force

Sustainable native forest practices

Appropriate infrastructure

Ongoing research and development

Hardwood and softwood plantation program

To capture the investment opportunities and competitive advantages, the timber industry will be encouraged to invest in technology to increase log yields, processing efficiencies and reduce costs of production.
