Our future

In order to ensure the Forest Products Commission delivers on its vision, mission, values and objectives, we will continue to develop our business in the coming years through the creation of new commercial opportunities in the emerging carbon and environmental services markets while managing and growing an efficient core business.

Some of our planned objectives for the coming years include:

• work with southwest forest industry to ensure the timber supply chain delivers the optimal outcome for the industry and to the FPC;
• work to achieve improved financial returns to pine plantation growers to encourage public and or private investment in an increased plantation estate into the future;
• complete the sandalwood sustainability plan;
• establish plantation based carbon sequestration projects for the public sector and private investors;
• implement the State’s Plantation and Farm Forestry Strategy;
• continue to promote the strategic tree farming (STF) project as a high priority project to help address salinity secure ongoing funding for the Strategic Tree Farming project;
• pursue profitable business development opportunities;
• continue to promote FPC’s forestry services to assist in addressing climate change and;
• achieve accreditation for FPC systems to national carbon schemes.
