The Victorian Forestry Plan is in full swing with the latest rounds of grants and activities coming online earlier this month to support the forest industry’s transition out of native timber harvesting to a plantation-based supply by 2030.
Gippsland Plantations Investment Program
Expressions of Interest are now open for the $110 million Gippsland Plantations Investment Program. The program provides incentives for plantation investors to undertake industrial-scale planting to bolster Victoria’s timber supplies and will result in more the 30 million trees being planted over the next decade.
Interest is being sought from experienced and capable plantation investors, developers and managers to invest in Victoria’s future plantations in a way that is sensitive to the environment and local communities and creates jobs.
