About 200,000 cubic metres of wood was expected to be harvested for use as structural timber, building materials, and in landscaping and gardening products."Demand for housing is predicted to grow strongly in line with long-term population growth and local plantations are critical for meeting this demand for timber framing and wood products," Timber Queensland CEO Mick Stephens said.The local industry met about 80 per cent of the state's timber needs.
"Plantations also provide environmental benefits through the carbon emissions captured and stored in harvested and replanted trees," Mr Stephens said.
