A new plantation forestry business, the largest in Queensland, came into being when Forestry Plantations Queensland began trading in May 2006.
Forestry Plantations Queensland took over the former DPI Forestry as manager of the Queensland Government’s 199,000 hectare softwood and hardwood forest plantations.
Responsible ministers
Queensland Treasurer and Minister for Employment & Economic Development, the Hon. Andrew Fraser MP and Minister for Primary Industries, Fisheries and Rural & Regional Queensland, the Hon. Tim Mulherin MP are the responsible Queensland Government ministers for Forestry Plantations Queensland.
Industry benefits
Reforms to commercial forestry in Queensland have ensured the State’s forest plantations continue to be managed efficiently, competitively and sustainably.
Forestry Plantations Queensland has been able to more fully maximise returns from Queensland’s plantation forest assets and provide greater security for Queensland's timber industry.
Jobs with Forestry Plantations Queensland
Forestry Plantations Queensland staff are employed by the Forestry Plantations Queensland Office, a declared Queensland Government public service office under section 29(1) of the Public Service Act 1996. They work for Forestry Plantations Queensland via a Work Performance Agreement. Jobs with Forestry Plantations Queensland are listed on the Forestry Plantations Queensland Office website.
