Over the last few years the NSW Cypress Industry has undergone major restructuring. This was in response to reduced cypress logging in what are now western division national parks. Many sawmillers have taken industry exit packages offered by government; those that are left must obtain the best return from, what is now, a small but very valuable state timber resource. Government has developed industry assistance packages to help these remaining sawmillers to maximise the aesthetic value of the available cypress. TDA has been awarded project funding to assist with the marketing and promotion of NSW cypress. Over the next two years this project will involve TDA in many aspects of the cypress industry. We will assist producers with technical problems, with development of new market strategies and with promotion of the unique aesthetic characteristics of cypress. To help TDA in the initial stages of this project we have developed a simple survey that we would like architects, building designers, builders, interior decorators, engineers, floor layers - in fact anyone with an interest in specifying or installing timber - to complete. The survey should not take any more than a couple of minutes of your time. Although we would like to know where you fit within the industry, we don't need your name, just your feedback. Please fill in the survey. |
