The Australian Forest Products Association (AFPA) has today launched its Federal Election policy platform aimed at illustrating the role Australian timber can play addressing the current housing crisis and supplying our nation’s future housing needs, the importance of securing the future of Australian grown and recycled timber and wood-fibre to enhance our sovereign capability, and promoting healthy and sustainable native and plantation forestry to provide Australians with the timber they need and fight climate change. AFPA Chief Executive Officer, Diana Hallam said, “I’m proud to launch Australian Timber. Australia’s Future. This document lays the groundwork for what the full supply chain of Australia’s forestry sector needs to thrive and I encourage all political parties to commit to the platform’s requests in full.”
