The Murray Region Forestry Hub is one of 11 similar organisations funded by the Australian Government to provide it with advice on supporting growth in the forest and wood products sector in key regions. It is home to one of the largest plantation softwood industries in Australia, with about 188,000 ha of predominantly radiata pine (Pinus radiata) plantations. The region covers a large area of southern New South Wales and north-east Victoria east of the Hume Freeway, west of the Great Dividing Range, south of Gundagai, and east of Seymour. Key forestry towns in the NSW part of the Hub are Tumut, Batlow, Tumbarumba, Gundagai and Adelong. In the Victorian Hub area, the main centres for the industry are Corryong, Tallangatta, Myrtleford and Wangaratta.
