AnswerView source ↗

I thank Hon Barry House for some notice of this question. (1) Request for tender 2679 offered approximately 8 500 tonnes - I am sorry that my answer is in tonnes and the member’s question is in cubic metres - of various native forest feature grade sawlog products from the south west. (2) Advice to the Forest Products Commission indicates that this information should not be made public while the tender process is still under way. I presume that advice would have come from the State Supply Commission, although it is not stated. (3) It is anticipated that the outcome of the tender process should be announced by mid December 2004.
