Friday Offcuts – 26 June 2026
Click to Subscribe - It's FREE! Welcome to this week’s issue of Friday Offcuts.The forest and wood products sector continues to navigate a mix of challenges and opportunities. In Australia, debate continues over native timber harvesting and the consequences of shifting supply to offshore and interstate sources. In New Zealand, Juken New Zealand’s proposed closure of its Northland mill is a stark reminder of the difficult trading conditions confronting wood processors. At the same time, governments and industry are continuing to invest in the sector’s future. We cover new funding for a major freight hub in Palmerston North, changes to Australia’s timber durability research programme, and fresh opportunities for forestry investment and professional development. Safety, resilience and long-term planning also feature strongly, with updates on manufacturing safety, harvesting operations, bushfire preparedness, energy policy and rural fire services.

Timber demand does not disappear when harvesting stops [AU]
Australia must decide what it wants from its timber supply.
That is according to Forestry Australia, which represents the
nation’s forest scientists, managers and growers, and which says
ending native forest harvesting at home does not reduce the
demand for timber. It simply shifts that demand elsewhere, including to
suppliers the country cannot always vouch for.When Victoria ended native timber harvesting in 2024, six years ahead of its previously scheduled 2030 end date, the demand for hardwood did not stop. Building supply chains looked interstate and overseas to make up the shortfall, with native hardwood once cut in Victoria now being sourced from Tasmania. Forestry Australia President Dr Michelle Freeman said the consequences were predictable: “When Victoria brought native forestry to an early close, the timber used in our floors, windows, furniture and joinery didn’t stop being needed, it just had to come from somewhere else, interstate or overseas. We can either grow it here, in forests we manage to some of the highest standards in the world or import it from places where we have far less certainty about how it was produced,” Dr Freeman said. Dr Freeman raised the issue in an interview on 3AW’s Mornings with Tom Elliott on Monday. “Stopping timber harvesting in one area doesn’t magically make demand for that timber go away. Australians want and need timber products, and they should,” Dr Freeman said. Forestry Australia welcomed the ABC Four Corners program, Timber Turmoil, for highlighting a critically important issue: that ending local, regulated native forest harvesting in one area has significant flow-on effects to other states, to private land and, critically, to vulnerable forests overseas, which Australia becomes increasingly reliant on to meet ongoing demand. Native forest harvesting in Australia is renewable, regulated and certified. It occurs within a framework of legislation, codes of practice, operational controls, monitoring, independent auditing and internationally recognised forest certification frameworks. The alternative to locally grown timber is rarely no timber at all, but a switch to materials with a heavier environmental footprint, or to imports. “If we’re not sourcing timber from our own backyard, we have to get it from elsewhere, or substitute it with other products that are almost always non-renewable, like steel, concrete or plastic,” Dr Freeman said. According to Dr Freeman, harvesting and conservation are not competing goals. A well-managed native forest supports biodiversity; stores carbon and protects water catchments while remaining resilient to bushfire and continuing to supply timber. Sustaining all those values is becoming harder as forests come under growing pressure from severe bushfires, invasive species, pests, disease and a changing climate, which is exactly why active, professional management matters. On the integrity of local supply, Dr Freeman said Australian operations were subject to strong oversight. “Harvesting in Australia is highly regulated and independently certified,” she said, noting the high level of scrutiny on operations, “particularly from environmental groups. They really can’t be getting away with doing anything untoward.” The greater risk lies in winding back well-managed local supply and leaning harder on imports that are difficult to trace, too often from forests run to standards far weaker than Australia’s. Dr Freeman said Australia already runs a timber trade deficit of around $2 billion a year, a significant proportion of it drawn from what she called high-risk countries, “those where the sustainability, environmental and social credentials are hard to verify.” She said this included conflict timber from Russia entering Australia via China. “So Australia really needs to decide what it wants. For me personally, I would much rather we sourced our timber needs locally, from our own forests, where we know where it’s come from and we can verify it,” Dr Freeman said.

AFPA Acting CEO Richard Hyett said the misleading program was not interested in accurately reflecting the latest science, environmental credentials and economic importance of Australia’s innovative forestry industry. “Tonight’s story was not balanced, accurate or fair, and blatantly prioritised activism over credible journalism,” Mr Hyett said.

Juken New Zealand has, this week, begun a formal consultation
process with employees regarding a proposal to close its Northland
Mill. This proposal reflects challenging market
conditions, including falling demand in key markets, rising costs and
insufficient work to keep the mill operating sustainably.JNL has made an extensive effort to identify a buyer or alternative pathway that would allow the site to continue operating, but this has not resulted in a viable option at this time. Triboard isn’t impacted by the proposal, and the process to explore a potential sale of that site as a going concern is continuing. No final decisions have been made. We are committed to a thorough consultation process and are seeking feedback from employees and union representatives before determining next steps. We recognise the impact this will have on employees and their families and are providing access to support services throughout the process.

Marcus Coverdale, of Workers First Union, said Northland Mill staff were called to a meeting early this morning and told no buyer had been found for the business. Consultation on the closure will start on 8 July. Coverdale said there was no word on the fate of the town's Triboard Mill, which suggested that one had found a buyer and might stay open. About 60 people work at the Northland Mill while 140 are employed at the Triboard Mill. More >> Source: RNZ  Government backs major North Island freight hub [NZ]
The Government has approved up to $22.4 million in funding to
support the rail component of Te Utanganui - a major new freight hub in
Palmerston North, Rail Minister Winston Peters and Regional Development
Minister Shane Jones say.Te Utanganui is an intermodal distribution hub in the lower North Island that links rail, road, air and sea. The Regional Infrastructure Fund (RIF) loan will support pre-construction and construction stages of the Bunnythorpe Regional Freight Hub, one of three projects in the wider Te Utanganui freight hub programme. “This is critical freight infrastructure that will improve efficiency using rail and roads, strengthen supply chains, and drive economic growth in the lower North Island,” Mr Peters says. “The full development will require investment commitments from freight and port companies but this investment enables the next stage of works to develop and to continue to secure the landholdings to generate value for the taxpayer.” The funding will be delivered in stages, with $1.9m allocated to pre-construction, followed by up to $20.5m for construction once a robust business case and delivery plan have been confirmed. Mr Jones says government support was key to the project staying on track. “Early-stage infrastructure is expensive and doesn’t usually create immediate income for investors. Through the RIF, we have helped de-risk the wider project to enable private sector investors’ confidence to co-invest.” Mr Jones says. Led by Manawatū’s Central Economic Development Agency, the project will be delivered with local councils, iwi, KiwiRail and private co-funders. Around 100-300 jobs are expected to be created during early works on the freight hub, with significantly more jobs created over time as the wider Te Utanganui programme develops, potentially supporting thousands of roles across logistics, manufacturing and related industries. “This funding helps address the infrastructure gap constraining economic growth in the lower North Island regions. It will unlock industrial land, build resilience and strengthen efficiency in the logistics network,” Mr Jones says. “This investment will enable our regions to grow and set them on a strong path for the future.” Source: New Zealand Government (Rt Hon Winston Peters, Minister for Rail & Hon Shane Jones, Minister for Regional Development) Image Credit: Te Utanganui --- Further reading: Government funding advances next stage of Te Utanganui freight hub development  FWPA sets future direction for timber durability research [AU]
Forest and Wood Products Australia (FWPA) have confirmed the next
phase of industry investment in timber durability and performance-in-use
research, following consideration of the 2026 Mid-Term Review of the
National Centre for Timber Durability and Design Life (NCTDDL).
The FWPA Board has decided to continue funding the Centre through to 30 June 2028, in line with the current agreement, while not extending the existing Centre funding model beyond that date. This provides time for a structured transition, allowing current projects, including commitments to PhD students, to be completed. a. FWPA said the decision reflects a positive and forward-looking outcome for industry, recognising the substantial contribution the Centre has made since 2017 while creating a pathway for new, innovative and more industry-led approaches to future investment. Timber durability and performance-in-use remain high priorities for FWPA and the broader forest and wood products sector. Future investment will build on the knowledge, relationships and capability developed through the NCTDDL, with greater emphasis on industry leadership, collaboration, extension and adoption. FWPA Head of Research, Development & Extension, Ian Blanden said “the Centre has helped strengthen the sector’s understanding of timber durability and created a valuable foundation for the next stage of research, development and practical application.” “The work undertaken through the NCTDDL has advanced knowledge, supported collaboration and helped build capability across important areas of timber durability and performance. FWPA sincerely thanks the Centre’s leadership, researchers, students, industry participants, university partners and all contributors for their dedication and expertise.” Mr Blanden said the transition period would allow FWPA and industry partners to shape future arrangements that respond directly to industry priorities and emerging opportunities. “This is about building on the Centre’s achievements and forging the way forward with a model that is even more closely aligned to industry needs,” Mr Blanden said. The NCTDDL has been supported by FWPA in partnership with the University of the Sunshine Coast and the University of Queensland, with the Centre taking a national and international approach to timber durability research. FWPA will continue to consult with industry stakeholders, research partners and advisory groups as future arrangements are developed. FWPA said the decision marks an important milestone in a long-term investment journey, ensuring the industry can recognise the Centre’s achievements while moving confidently towards future programs shaped by sector priorities, adoption pathways and practical impact.

WorkSafe New Zealand has provided practical safety guidance to
hundreds of wood manufacturing businesses, as part of a significant
proactive focus on one of the country's most dangerous sectors.
WorkSafe’s health and safety inspectors visited 657
businesses between January and March – from toy makers to joiners
and wood processors – sharing education and guidance material with
83% of them.“Many businesses were committed to improving safety and welcomed the chance to talk through their health and safety practices,” says WorkSafe’s project lead Savio Valladares. “These visits are about helping businesses get it right, not catching them out.” However, the assessments also revealed persistent safety gaps. About half the businesses visited were required to make prompt changes to help prevent harm. The most common issues were inadequate machine guarding, missing or out-of-date hazardous substances inventories, and workers exposed to wood dust without effective controls such as ventilation and protective equipment. “Manufacturing workers deserve to go home healthy and safe at the end of every day. These visits are about helping businesses and workers understand what good looks like – and most were receptive to that. While we can see progress is being made, too many are still missing safety essentials,” says Savio Valladares. The findings reinforce why the sector is a priority focus for WorkSafe. Manufacturing has the highest rate and number of injuries resulting in more than a week off work of any sector – around 200 machinery-related injuries occur each year. An average of four to five manufacturing workers are killed at work each year – roughly two thirds of fatalities occur in food, wood, and metal product manufacturing. WorkSafe will continue proactive visits to manufacturing businesses. From July to September, the focus shifts to food manufacturing. WorkSafe’s role is to influence businesses and workers to meet their responsibilities and keep people healthy and safe.

When Australia’s Chris Bowen and Turkey’s Murat Kurum unveiled their “35 by 35” flagship target at Bonn this month – raising electricity’s share of global Final Energy from around 20 per cent today to 35 per cent by 2035 – it was the most consequential framing decision in years of climate talksAfter years of climate negotiations dominated by vague fossil fuel phase-down language, here was something concrete: a number, a date, a technology pathway. Electrification as the organising frame for decarbonisation. This is unambiguously the right direction. But the metric they’ve chosen – electricity as a percentage of Final Energy – is the wrong ruler. And picking the wrong ruler yields the wrong measure. It can actively drive you toward the wrong decisions. Final Energy is the energy content of whatever is sold to end users — fuel in the tank, gas through the meter, kilowatt-hours on the bill. It includes all the energy that gets wasted before doing anything useful. And this is where the measurement trap springs. Electric technologies are dramatically more efficient than their fossil fuel equivalents. A modern heat pump delivers three units of warmth for every one unit of electricity consumed. An electric vehicle converts around 90% of its electricity into motion; a petrol engine manages perhaps 20%. More >> Source: Renew Economy NZ log market - June 2026 [NZ]
Market Summary - June At Wharf Gate (AWG) prices for export
logs at New Zealand ports fell by an average 9 NZD per
JASm3 due to a combination of CFR log price drops in
China and increased shipping costs. CFR log prices in China
have stabilised, shipping costs have reduced, and the NZD has weakened
against the USD through June, so AWG prices are expected to increase in
July.This will provide some relief to forest owners who have been battling with below par financial returns. Softwood log inventory in China is slightly reduced with constant log demand. Domestically, sawn timber demand remains firmer than at the same time last year. Fuel surcharges have been reduced as fuel costs ease, helping to alleviate some of the cost pressure across the supply chain. The PF Olsen Log Price Index dropped $3 to $119 in June, which is $1 below the two-year average and level with the five-year average. Domestic Log Market Domestic log processors have reduced the fuel surcharge on domestic sawn timber from 3–4% in June to 1% in July, with the surcharge due to be reviewed again in late July for August pricing. The reduction reflects lower fuel costs and some easing of cost pressures across the supply chain. Most domestic log pricing has remained stable as the market enters Quarter 3. While construction activity remains below long-term averages, sawmill demand has generally held up better than expected through winter. Processors report steady demand across structural, packaging, and industrial timber grades. Revenue from export sales are improved by the weaker NZD. The reduction in domestic processing capacity over the past two years continues to influence market dynamics. Mill closures and production curtailments have tightened timber supply and improved the balance between supply and demand. This has enabled sawmills to maintain pricing despite a subdued construction environment. Residential construction activity appears to have stabilised following the sharp downturn experienced during 2023–2024. Building consent levels have improved from their lows and there are early indications that physical construction activity is gradually increasing. However, non-residential construction remains weak and continues to limit broader timber demand. China CFR prices for A-grade logs from New Zealand are currently in the range of USD 121–127 per JASm³ for the larger exporters. Prices appear to have stabilised in recent weeks, although the relatively wide trading range is expected to persist due to differences in grade mix, customer relationships, contract structures, and individual selling strategies among New Zealand exporters. Softwood log inventories in China have reduced slightly and are now estimated to be in the 2.2–2.4 million m³ range. Daily log offtake remains steady at approximately 55,000 m³ per day, which is encouraging given that productivity and construction activity typically slow during China's hotter summer months.

As of 3pm, 16 June 2026, an El Niño has been officially
declared in the Pacific Ocean by the Australian Bureau of
Meteorology. So, what do these signs of El Niño
development mean for Australia? In this expert commentary, CSIRO
researchers explain the significance of El Niño conditions for
Australia's:
Beyond the headlines, there is more to understand about the variety of natural climate phenomena that combine to contribute to major natural events. What is El Niño? Dr Nandini Ramesh, Senior Research Scientist: El Niño is a natural pattern of warming in the equatorial Pacific that occurs every few years. The warmer-than-normal waters of an El Niño event affect atmospheric patterns, altering weather all around the globe: its effects can lead to heatwaves, bushfires, and drought in Australia, Asia and Europe; torrential rains and flooding in East Africa, and tropical cyclones and storms over western North and South America. Will it make our bushfires worse? CSIRO Principal Research Scientist Dr Andrew Sullivan: While El Niño can influence Australia’s climate and weather, bushfire risk is driven by a combination of factors in addition to weather, including available vegetation, terrain and, importantly, ignition sources. Large-scale climate drivers like El Niño can influence broad conditions such as temperature and rainfall, but they do not determine whether fires start or how they behave on the ground. Bushfires remain a complex, localised hazard that depend on whether the right conditions and an ignition coincide. For this reason, the relationship between El Niño and bushfire activity is not straightforward. The occurrence of an El Niño event does not translate directly into bushfire occurrence or impacts, and some of Australia’s more severe fire seasons have occurred in non-El Niño years. Fire risk is shaped not by a single driver but by the cumulative interaction of climate influences over time, such as rainfall patterns, drought, and fire weather (the coincidence of hot, dry, windy weather), alongside local vegetation conditions and prevalence of potential ignition sources (both natural and human-caused). While the emergence of El Niño is an important component in some parts of the continent, it is not a definitive indicator of how a bushfire season will unfold. What matters is how these interacting factors evolve: wetter periods can boost vegetation growth, which may increase fire risk later if conditions dry out and are followed by hot, dry and windy weather with an ignition source. CSIRO is supporting national capabilities such as the National Bushfire Intelligence Capability, improved fire danger rating systems and advanced tools like Spark that model fire spread and behaviour. Together, these advances help emergency services and communities better understand and respond to bushfire risk under a range of climate scenarios, including, but not limited to, El Niño.

The Government’s review of how Fire and Emergency New
Zealand (FENZ) is funded should be accompanied by a wider examination of
whether FENZ is delivering for rural communities, forest owners say.
The New Zealand Forest Owners Association (NZFOA) and Federated Farmers wrote to Internal Affairs Minister Hon Brooke van Velden last week, calling for an independent review just ten years after FENZ was first established. The Minister has since confirmed a review of the insurance-based levy which provides most of FENZ’s funding. NZFOA chief executive Dr Elizabeth Heeg says the review presents an opportunity to assess whether the 2017 fire services reform has achieved its intention of delivering improved fire capabilities and protection for rural communities. “Rural landowners carry substantial cost and risk under the current system, with limited evidence of delivering the efficiencies, transparency and service improvements that were originally expected,” says Elizabeth. “For example, has the merger of urban and rural fire services delivered the efficiencies and benefits originally intended when FENZ was established? “Examining whether rural communities are receiving fair and effective fire and emergency services, relative to the risks they face, should be a central part of the review’s scope.” NZFOA fire spokesperson Sean McBride says the forestry sector plays a critical role in managing fire risk. “Forest owners and farmers are at the frontline of rural fire prevention and control,” he says. “The capacity and expertise that our people bring to fire management is a critical extension of our country’s response network." Strengthening collaboration with FENZ during large-scale incidents, where local expertise is often essential for effective suppression, will be critical to ensuring this capability is fully utilised. “With climate pressures increasing the frequency and scale of fire risk, the industry needs confidence that FENZ has the specialist knowledge, capability and focus needed to manage large-scale vegetation and landscape fires,” Sean says. “Spending decisions and performance measures must also reflect the very different risks and operating environments across rural New Zealand.” NZFOA’s priority is to ensure New Zealand’s fire response system adequately supports frontline response, training and capability. “Forest owners understand risk and responsibility better than most,” Elizabeth says. “We are not asking for concessions. We are asking for a system that is transparent, evidence-based, and clearly demonstrates it is delivering the fire protection and capability it is funded to provide.” She says the call for a wider review is consistent with questions being raised across the primary sector about whether expected gains from structural reform have been fully realised. “Reviewing whether FENZ is delivering for levy payers is not a criticism of frontline firefighters or volunteers, who continue to do outstanding work,” Dr Heeg says. “It’s about giving landowners and rural communities assurances that the organisation supporting them is efficient, accountable and aligned to the risks it is designed to manage. “As FENZ enters its second decade, it is appropriate to ensure those expectations are being met.” Source: NZFOA Image credit: Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ)  Transport cost index - Unprecedented impact of fuel pricing [NZ]We recently released our Grant Thornton Transport Cost Index for the March quarter and that includes forecasting for the following quarter. The magnitude of the rise forecast is unprecedented in the Index’s history and demonstrates the downstream impact of the geopolitical tension in the Strait of Hormuz on transport.While there seems to have been some cooling in the pricing of crude and refined products landing here, I think there’s still some time to go before we get back to reasonable stability.  Australian regulators showing forward thinking It was interesting to read reports from Australia about how dramatically its road transport regulatory framework may need to evolve over the coming decade. Representatives from their regulatory bodies, National Transport Commission (NTC) and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) are looking ahead to a future that could include automated trucks, data-driven enforcement and a very different approach to regulation. The NTC said the biggest challenges facing regulators were adapting laws built around the assumption that a human is always driving the vehicle, and when laws would need to clearly define when responsibility sits with a human operator and when it rests with the company providing the automated driving system. This issue has been a bugbear over the last decade or so and I’m surprised it hasn’t been remedied yet. NHVR CEO Nicole Rosie, formerly CE of NZTA, outlined the NHVR’s vision for a future where compliance activities become increasingly driven by data and intelligence rather than traditional roadside enforcement. I think it’s good this already appears to be on NZTA’s radar. Given the increase in the availability of on-vehicle monitoring, whether we need to keep spending on roadside compliance infrastructure remains to be seen. While we share some common issues with our Trans-Tasman neighbours, we need to keep in mind that there is one massive difference which I am concerned is too often overlooked. Unlike us, Australian transport businesses do not need to obtain a transport service licence, and therefore I think there’s a good case that we don’t mirror everything Australia does. Unless of course we lose the licensing regime in which case common approaches could make more sense.

The Forest Harvesting Safety Project is setting new safety
standards in Queensland’s state-owned native timber harvesting by
aligning safety responsibilities and providing practical tools.
The Forest Harvesting Safety Project is setting new safety
standards and requirements for those undertaking selective harvesting of
native timber in state-owned native forests.A key component is the introduction of a Harvesting Safety Planning and Induction process to ensure that holders of supply agreements issued under the authority of the Forestry Act 1959 integrate safety into their operations and demonstrate what controls are in place to ensure safety on their harvesting area. To support the process, DPI collaborated with industry stakeholders to develop a safety plan template that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of individual businesses and harvesting areas. The template is available on Timber Queensland’s Work Health & Safety | Qld Native Forestry website. In February and March 2026, DPI engaged directly with more than 80% of supply agreement holders across Queensland. These one-on-one sessions provided guidance on the new requirements and demonstrated how to effectively use the safety plan template. Feedback was positive, with many participants expressing confidence in the safety plan template and the support provided by DPI throughout the roll-out. As a result, all active harvesting areas now have a harvesting safety plan developed by the supply agreement holder. This process will continue to be implemented for new harvesting areas to ensure consistent safety standards. The next stage of the Forest Harvesting Safety Project will focus on revising communication and responses to any identified safety issues. The Forest Harvesting Safety Project represents a significant step forward in promoting safety in Queensland’s native forestry sector. By working closely with agreement holders and contractors, DPI aims to create safer workplaces and improve outcomes for selective native timber harvesting activities.

Applications for the first ballot to register exotic forestry on
marginal land in the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is
open. The ballot is part of updated ETS forestry rules that took
effect on 31 October last year.John Saunders, director forestry operations at Te Uru Rākau – New Zealand Forest Services, says the changes establish a permit allocation system and clarify where exotic forestry can register in the ETS. From Friday 19 June to Wednesday 22 July 2026, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) will run the first of 2 annual ballots to allocate permits covering up to 15,000 hectares of Land Use Capability (LUC) Class 6 land each year. This non-arable land is generally less suitable for productive uses than LUC Classes 1 to 5. Each ballot allocates 7,500 hectares, with 2,000 hectares reserved for small applications of up to 100 hectares. Successful permits enable registration of post-1989 forests on LUC Class 6 land in the ETS. Under 2025 reforms, landowners may also plant and register up to 25% of their LUC Class 1 to 6 land in exotic forestry within the ETS. Land entered via ballot permits sits outside this allowance. "The updated legislation establishes a structured allocation process and provides clearer eligibility criteria," Mr Saunders says. "Permits are allocated through a ballot system based on a random draw, and a reserved category for smaller applications aims to enable participation across a range of project sizes.
