Sustainable Timber Tasmania is undertaking a process to identify parties interested in on-island processing of large volumes of hardwood plantation logs grown on permanent timber production zone land. Source: Timberbiz
Sustainable Timber Tasmania’s eucalypt plantations have been grown for more than 25 years, meaning they have wood properties suitable for manufacturing of quality veneer or sawn timbers and engineered wood products.
This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for existing and potential customers to access hardwood plantation logs at scale which have been subject to a management approach of growing, thinning and pruning. In total there is around 350,000 cubic metres per annum of wood available over 10 years including 125,000 cubic metres per annum of pruned and unpruned larger millable logs (greater than 30cm small end diameter).
The logs are sourced from Sustainable Timber Tasmania’s hardwood plantations which are certified under the Responsible Wood and PEFC certification schemes.
Parties interested in participating in the sale process are encouraged to register their interest with The Fifth Estate Consultancy Pty Ltd by email to [email protected]
Parties who register with The Fifth Estate will be provided with further information on how to prepare and submit a Qualification Form to progress their application.
Qualification is not automatic and only pre-qualified proponents will be able to participate in the next stage of the process.
Completed Qualification Forms need to be lodged with The Fifth Estate by email to [email protected] by no later than 5pm on 31 January 2024.
After the Qualification Forms have been assessed, respondents will be advised if they are qualified to proceed further.
