Timber Queensland welcomes new LNP government

Timber Queensland, representing the forest and timber industry has congratulated David Crisafulli and the incoming LNP Government on their election victory and recent announcement of the new Ministry. Source: Timberbiz “We have previously briefed LNP Shadow Ministers on the issues and opportunities in the State’s $4 billion forest and timber industry which contributes essential timber building materials for the housing and construction sector,” Timber Queensland CEO Mick Stephens said. “We particularly congratulate Tony Perrett as the Minister for Primary Industries with portfolio responsibility for forestry. As the member for Gympie, Tony has a sound grasp of the sector. “We also thank and acknowledge the contribution of former ALP member for Maryborough, Bruce Saunders, who championed the timber industry as a local member and as co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends of the Queensland Forest and Timber Industry,” he said. As part of its ‘breaking down the barriers to building’ policy, the LNP committed to delivering a landmark Queensland Timber Action Plan to ensure the State has access to the timber required to build one million homes over the next 20 years. “We are therefore keen to work with the Government on boosting timber supply chains to better meet these building needs.”
