With reference to the table on page 4 of the ‘Action Plan for Tree Farming in Western Australia’ that the Premier launched on 19 September 2002, what are the estimated volumes of each wood-based product (potential timber markets) listed in the table for each of the five indicated sources of timber over the period of 2002-2012 (what volume of native forest timber is expected to be available and what volume of radiata pine is expected to be available over that period)?.

The figure includes both public and private resources. The State expects to increase its production from existing Pinus radiata and Pinus pinaster plantations from 600,000 cubic metres to about 1.1 million cubic metres per annum. The yields of Eucalyptus globulus are anticipated to rapidly grow from current production of less than 1 million tonnes to over 4 million tonnes. The new plantings of maritime pine and hardwood sawlogs would not be sufficiently mature to yield significant volumes until after 2012. The projected future volumes are based on extensive areas of reforestation of agricultural land and represent the potential growth in the industry if the planting occurs.
