Timber Management
Timber operations in Western Australia, ACT and Victoria operate under their unique legislative controls. The Karri and Jarrah forests of Western Australia and the hardwood forests of Victoria are sustainably managed and harvested by the relevant state agencies and departments. The softwood processed by Auswest Timbers® in the ACT is harvested from sustainable plantations.

Auswest Timbers® hardwood operations comply with the requirements of the international standard AS/NZS ISO 14001 as certified to the Australian Forestry Standard. The AFS is endorsed by the Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification, an internationally recognised certification.

All Auswest Timbers® operations also operate under a certified Chain of Custody system that allows the tracing of the source of logs used in timber products back to the forest from which they came.
