Taller timber buildings Code change set to increase sales volumes for forest and wood products industry

From May 1st 2016, Australia’s timber industry merchants and manufacturers will have new sales opportunities in taller structures – up to 8 storeys – for buildings including apartments, offices and hotels. This is the result of a successful proposal to change the National Construction Code (NCC), submitted and managed by Forest and Wood Products Australia Limited (FWPA), the industry services body.
