The forum, being held in Kununarra on 5 September (dial in and video conferencing option available on request), is part of the Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia (CRCNA) project to identify the growth potential for northern Australia’s forestry and forestry products industry.
Forum participants will be invited to provide input into initial findings of a literature review of strategic documents and regulatory frameworks to identify the extent of commercially productive resources including native, plantation and farm forests.
The project team seeks to develop longer term relationships with forum attendees to seek further input on the final report and future actions for policy, R & D and investment decisions.
Forums are open to anyone engaged in or wanting to be engaged in the forestry and forest products industry, but specifically:
- forest owners and managers
- harvesting contractors
- processors
- Land Councils
- Associations and peak industry bodies
- Government representatives
The forum will be on Thursday 5 September from 11.00am – 1.00pm at the Department of Primary Industries & Regional Development Conference Room, 1 Durack Drive, Kununurra.
To register to attend this free forum, please RSVP [email protected] providing your name and contact information.
