Future log availability from Australia\u2019s commercial plantations is forecast to decrease, according to a report released by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES).<\/p>\n

ABARES Acting Executive Director Peter Gooday said the volume of plantation logs harvested from Australia\u2019s plantation estate has consistently grown over the past decade and now accounts for 85 per cent of all logs harvested in Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe total potential log availability from Australia\u2019s commercial plantation estate is forecast to increase to an annual average of 29.7 million cubic metres in the 2015 to 2019 period,\u201d Mr Gooday said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis increase will be followed by a decline to an annual average of 27.0 million cubic metres per year for the 2020 to 2024 period.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report finds that the availability of softwood sawlogs is forecast to remain steady at around 11.9 million cubic metres per year for the next 15 to 20 years, followed by an increase up to about 13 million cubic metres per year from 2030 to 2045.<\/p>\n

Mr Gooday said that the average forecast of total plantation log availability was 10 per cent lower than 2012 in this report, with the average forecast of hardwood log availability 21 per cent lower and softwood log availability 2 per cent lower.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe majority of the decline in total log availability is because the expected yield from hardwood plantations is forecast to decline, as plantations of low commerciality are not replanted and some lease agreements with landholders are not renewed,\u201d Mr Gooday said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is estimated that the total commercial plantation estate may decrease by around 80,000 to 100,000 hectares over the next 10 to 15 years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
