(1) What data is collected by the Forest Products Commission on sawn timber recovery from logs harvested from public timber production forests?
(2) If such data is available on an individual sawmill basis, will the Minister provide this data?
(3) If data on an individual sawmill basis is not available, what range of sawn timber recoveries are being made by timber mills in WA from publicly grown logs for each of the major species of native and exotic species of trees harvested from Crown land?
(4) If data on an individual sawmill basis is not available, what is the average sawn timber recoveries being made by timber mills in WA from publicly grown logs for each of the major species of native and exotic species of trees harvested from Crown land?
(5) On average, what proportion of timber contained within logs of each of the major commercially harvested species ends up being used for lower value uses such as sawdust, firewood, charcoal production, construction timber and waste?

(2-4) The data is available on an individual sawmill basis and I attach relevant data for the last completed reporting period, to June 2002. (5) For that same reporting period, the proportion of sawn recovery represented by structural grade timber was 18.9% for jarrah and 51.4% for karri. It is expected that these proportions will decrease as a result of the value-adding requirements in new contracts to be let following completion of the Forest Management Plan. The Forest Products Commission does not receive similar detailed information on the composition of the non-sawn components.
