The Client
Central West Forestry Hub
Challenge
The Central West Forestry Hub identified a significant gap between available wood fibre and processing capacity in the region. Greenwood Strategy was engaged to examine potential for improvements in plantation productivity, as well as recovery and utilisation of harvested fibre, to generate gains in immediate and future fibre recovery and distribution from the existing estate.
Solution
Specialised analysis included extensive stakeholder consultation, in-field observations of operational practice, identification and categorisation of potential opportunities, research and literature review to understand how those opportunities have been addressed elsewhere, analysis and quantification of potential gains, and development of recommendations into a final report.
Outcomes
The primary outcome of this project was the identification of opportunities in plantation productivity, as well as recovery and utilisation of harvested fibre, to generate gains in immediate and future fibre recovery and distribution from the existing estate. A final report outlines a process for categorising potential actions and setting priorities for Hub action to focus on delivering these gains.
