New advertising campaign to be launched

Objective

Stimulate interest, inspire and engage the audience with the versatility of wood.

Execution

Using six 15-second videos (i.e., indoor, packaging, outdoor, furniture, framing, bioenergy All executions have a climate and certification message. Spread across a range of channels, including subscription TV , print, social media and internet.

Aligning products to market needs

  • Changes to the building code
  • WoodSolutions design guides
  • WoodSolutions mid-rise program
  • Market research and dissemination
  • New National Centre of Excellence for

Design Life and Durability

General Timber (High level of protection to timber)

  • FRL lightweight timber-framed

construction e.g. 90, 120, 140 x 45mm

  • Additional precautions to reduce risk of

fire spread to cavities e.g. Sprinkler system plus 2 x 13mm fire- grade plasterboard for walls, 2 x 16mm fire-grade plasterboard for ceilings

  • Additional precautions to reduce risk if fire

enters or starts in cavity e.g. cavity barriers

Fire-grade plasterboar d Timber framing

WoodSolutions technical “Field Force”

  • Establishment of a technical field force in Victoria

with a minor extension in Queensland

  • 3-year pilot with the potential to roll-out nationally
  • The program will have similarities to the successful

North American WoodWorks program

  • Voluntary funders (e.g., domestic and imported

timber suppliers, nail plates, truss manufacturers, plasterboard), FWPA management and Government matching dollars.

Assisting in optimisation of the value chain

  • Resource assessment tools (e.g., LiDAR,

drones, resistogaph, NIR, e-Cambium model)

  • Market assessment (input from Program

2)

  • Resource handling (e.g., infield drying,
  • In-mill optimisation (e.g., Opti-cant, big

data, grading)

  • Log and product tracking (e.g, RFID)

Next gen/value added structural products Next gen/value added reconstituted fibre products Value added residue producing platform chemicals from biorefineries

The challenge is to optimise value from the tree and the end-user

slide-26
SLIDE 26

“Single tree” forestry

(remove the tyranny of averages)

Know where the trees are located and their key properties (genetics, LidAR, wood properties) Allocate the right log to the right product/mill Allocate the right product to the right end-use and customer

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Growing resources and reducing risk

  • Genetics by environment (GxE) research
  • Genetic markers for eucalypts
  • Forest Productivity Optimisation System
  • Agro-forestry decision support tools
  • Herbicide consortium
  • ERF methodology for commercial forestry
  • Pine drought mortality: predicting risk and

providing adaptation strategies

slide-28
SLIDE 28

I mpacting decision making and capacity

  • Improvement in ABARES statistics and

upgrade of FORUM model

  • Industry data aggregation in sawn

s/wood, h/wood and forest growers

  • Data dashboard in place and 2nd

generation to be launched

  • Socio-economic research for key regions
  • Mechanisms to ensure data conservation
slide-29
SLIDE 29

Voluntary matching

  • Access to C’wealth funds for voluntary

contributions (capped at $1.6 mil after 2018).

  • Projects that have been supported:

– CLT acoustics – African Mahogany genetics – African Mahogany therapeutics – STBA expanded genetics – WoodSolutions fieldforce pilot – Permanent sample plot trial in Green Triangle – UAVs to spot Koalas

  • Challenge to get C’wealth to provide remaining

funds up to GSV cap (~ $3 mil pa).
