Timber NSW Information

Timber NSW was established in 1906 as the representative organisation of the timber and forest products industry in NSW. Our mission is to work with our members, stakeholders and the broader industry to build an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable timber industry in New South Wales. While Timber NSW exists principally to represent the NSW timber and forest products industry at parliamentary, political and senior government levels, it is also concerned with broader industry issues. Timber NSW works in close cooperation with other timber industry bodies, such as our counterparts in other states, the Australian Forest Products Association, the Timber Development Association NSW, Forest & Wood Products Association, Australian Forest Growers and Timber Communities Australia. We also regularly engage with community representatives, educators and conservation groups. Timber NSW works on behalf of members in the following areas: Policy: We develop policy positions based on rigorous research of domestic and international best practice and consultation. We analyse and consult re state government policies to ensure our members' views are represented at the highest level. Representation & Advocacy: Through our submissions, speeches, presentations and meetings with senior policymakers across all levels of government and to all political parties, we present a united voice and advocate on behalf of the industry. Member Services: We keep our members up to date and provide advice and assistance to our members on resource security and sustainability, industry regulation and environmental best practice. We organise regular events, forums and meetings in Sydney and across New South Wales. Communication & Education: We promote the industry, informing stakeholders and the community about the way the timber and forest products industry operates and the economic, environmental and social benefits of our work.
