A roadmap to the future for New Zealand's forestry industry
A roadmap to the future for New Zealand's forestry industry
20 August 2022
The Government's unveiled a draft transformation plan - to increase the country's wood processing onshore... and develop the woody biomass sector.
Forestry Minister Stuart Nash is laying out a world where high rise buildings are built with engineered wood - and planes and boats are powered by fuel from our forests.
The proposed plan looks at how the Government can co-invest in new sawmills to process lower grades of log - and ramp up a presence in key overseas markets.
Consultation closes at the end of next month.
