Benalla mill workers worried about job losses

Friday 1 Aug 2025

 
A north-east Victorian community has raised concerns about the partial closure of a wood supplier's local manufacturing site with "significant" job losses flagged. ForestOne, a major employer in the area, announced on Friday it would close its dry sawmill and particleboard manufacturing operations in Benalla. 

Local media reported an employee had said there would be 140 job losses, but the company told the ABC there would be "much, much less than that". The company would not say how many jobs were expected to be lost because it was confidential information and they were still "working through that".

The company has not said when the closure would occur at the site, which has 150 employees.
