Timber Fibre Strategy welcomed by industryFriday 11 Jul 2025
Developed through the Albanese Government's Strategic Forest and Renewable Materials Partnership, the Strategy identifies the key roles that will be played by the forestry industry to help solve challenges facing Australia. AFCA CEO Tim Lester said the Strategy recognised that future success will draw together products, production and people. "The Strategy highlights that there are opportunities and challenges facing the sector. It also shows how governments and all parts of the industry can work together to deliver healthy forests, thriving regional communities and successful businesses. "Pleasingly, the document acknowledges the importance of forest services businesses as critical participants in the supply chain, and that their success is key for a sustainable and growing timber fibre sector, said Tim Lester. We also note the acknowledgement of the role played by forestry certification, such as AFCA's world-leading ForestFit™ standard and certification scheme, to support responsible and ethical supply chains while also providing assurance of environmental, social and economic sustainability. "Our congratulations to Minister Collins and the members of the Strategic Forest and Renewable Materials Partnership for this significant piece of work. AFCA looks forward to continuing to work with government and industry colleagues to achieve the aims of this Strategy and keep delivering the sustainable products that Australians want and need," said Tim Lester.
