Forest and Wood Product Australia
Forest and Wood Products Australia (formerly The Forest and Wood Products Research and Development Corporation) provides a national, integrated research and development focus
for the Australian forest and wood products industry.
They are committed to research and development that promotes internationally competitive and environmentally sustainable practices, enhances employment opportunities and contributes to growing Australia’s reputation as an innovative producer of high quality forest and wood products.
The FWPA is funded by the industry and the Commonwealth and their
revenue is made up of industry levies on unprocessed wood produced
in Australia and a charge on imports of unprocessed and certain primary
processed wood products. The levy applies to seven classes of logs:
hardwood sawlogs, softwood sawlogs, cypress sawlogs, plywood and veneer
logs, wood panels pulplogs, hardwood export pulplogs and round log
equivalent of imported timber and timber products.
The FWPA also invests in other activities to support industry development and capability, particularly through the training of postgraduate students and sponsorship support for significant industry events.
