14-Nov-2009
An extensive new timber resource from very economical, small diameter plantation hardwood rounds will be
available for commercial use in the near future.
Opportunities to utilise this resource in a number of value added applications including small and
medium scale structures such as park shelters, shade structures, noise barriers and light industrial
buildings are being investigated including applications using steam bending technology.
A preliminary investigation by the University of Queensland, School of Architecture and Queensland
Primary Industries & Fisheries has developed design concepts for a range of these applications. You
can review these
concepts here.
As potential designers, specifiers or purchasers of these and similar structures, we seek and value
your preliminary assessment of the potential to take these opportunities further towards reality via
more detailed R&D and commercial development.
By reviewing the
concepts
and completing a very short
on-line survey
by Wednesday 25 November,
you will assist us appreciably in this endeavour and be in the running to win a $200 timber incentive pack.
