Bronze Sponsor - Residential Class 1 - New Building

For more than 100 years, Timber NSW has represented the timber and forest products industry in this state. Our members work shoulder to shoulder with the state-owned Forestry Corporation of NSW and private forest owners to meet the growing demand for our hardwoods and softwoods.

Each year every man, woman and child in Australia consumes the equivalent of one cubic metre of timber. When we build our homes, renovate our kitchens and fit-out our offices, we rely on timber. For key infrastructure like wharves, bridges, railway sleepers and telegraph poles, we rely on timber.

All finger jointed primed pine products are made up of four key components, these being the timber, the preservative, the glue system, and the primer system. Each one of the defined components can vary in quality and performance, each should be evaluated on their own merit prior to selecting a product. Design Pine does not jeopardise its quality as only the finest quality components are used to create the ultimate outdoor timber solution.

Bronze Sponsor - Sustainability Award

Planet Ark's Make It Wood - Do Your World Some Good campaign promotes increased use of responsibly sourced wood as a building material. When sourced responsibly, wood can play a big part in tackling climate change.

This is because wood is a low-carbon option for building: When used in long-lived applications, it stores carbon for the long-term, it is renewable and it has a lower embodied energy than many other building materials such as concrete, steel or plastic. As such, using wood allows us to live a low carbon lifestyle. Make It Wood is proudly brought to you by Planet Ark in partnership with Forest and Wood Products Australia.
