This licence enables the Company to treat pine logs derived from its thinning activities with CCA or creosote to produce peeled cylindrical fence posts and poles.
These operations will take place at the Company’s timber mill located near Parndana on Kangaroo Island, using existing equipment, and will be undertaken by a subcontractor, who will harvest and purchase the timber and rent the necessary equipment from the Company.
A post-peeling and preservation capacity will be important as thinning operations proceed and, in the event of harvest, to make use of offcuts as logs are cut to standard sizes for export or for processing into lumber.
Kangaroo Island Plantations Timbers is Australia’s only listed timber company. It manages a wholly-owned portfolio of hardwood and softwood forestry plantations and of cleared and uncleared agricultural land on Kangaroo Island, South Australia.
