Timber Production

326 Mr HUGHES (Giles) (4 September 2018). What is the Marshall Liberal government doing to double the economic value of timber production across South Australia by 2050?

1. How this will be measured and reported?

The Hon. T.J. WHETSTONE (Chaffey—Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development): The government is establishing the South Australian Forest Industry Advisory Council which will help drive our development agenda for the timber industry.

It is expected the government and industry will pursue appropriate development based upon the advice of the council. PIRSA will work with the council to determine appropriate measurement methods towards growing the economic value of the domestic timber production.
