News & Resources
As we pause and look back on the past 12 months, our earlier apprehension around prospects for the sawmilling industry proved to be quite justified, with limited opportunities for growth. We were instead mostly involved in ensuring that our companies survived to see
another year.
Our members’ products should be in demand across a broad spectrum of markets – the affordable housing market, the traditional building sector, government carbon-friendly projects and in niche export markets. In addition, the exciting developments around mass structural lumber should further enhance demand.
The reality is that demand has been static over the past few years, with formal sawmills uncertain of the future. A plea to government to urgently address a number of these matters with practical interventions has unfortunately not produced anything substantial.
