The Central West Forestry Hub was established under the Commonwealth Government’s “GROWING A BETTER AUSTRALIA” policy, aimed at expanding plantation forests, improving forestry resources, and enhancing community understanding of plantation forestry.
We provide key information to government and Industry, helping to support the forestry industry in Central West NSW. The industry is a key employer important to the regions economy.
Since the inception of the Hub more than 18,000 hectares of greenfield plantations have been approved in the region. The region is focused on Radiata pine cultivation and processing, a practice that has been established for nearly a century and is confirmed to be a significant net sequesterer of carbon.
The Hubs work has helped government understand the challenges and opportunities for the forestry industry in the Central West. It has also served as a source of information to support industry growth and related stakeholder projects.
