Our Constitution

The role of Wood Products Victoria is to ensure that sustainable timber and wood products, grown, harvested, processed, manufactured or sold within
Victoria or by Victorian-based businesses are supported by informed research, technical publications, customer information, and product & market development — the ultimate aim is to see more wood used.

Areas We Support

In establishing the constitution one of the objectives was to complement the anticipated activities and goals of the national body, Forest and Wood Products Australia (FWPA), which replaced the FWPRDC.

An integrated approach to research and development and generic wood marketing and promotion across Australia is a most desirable outcome for an optimal sustainable future.

WPV supports sustainable timber and wood products, grown, harvested, processed, manufactured or sold within Victoria or by Victorian-based.
