FOREST PRODUCTS
COMMISSION — SUPPLY CONTRACTS
1524. Hon LOUISE KINGSTON to the Minister for Forestry:
I
refer to the Forest Products Commission annual report 2022–23 and its KPI results regarding ''Log deliveries meet customer
orders'', noting the 18.34 per cent variation, which is well above the
FPC's target of only a 10 per cent variation.
(1) What was the volume of native
timber that was delivered to customers versus the volume ordered?
(2) Does the
minister stand by her comment that the Forest Products Commission continues to
work with customers who have supply agreements to meet their needs?
(3) How does the
Forest Products Commission intend to fulfil its contractual obligations with
customers?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The
percentage of ordered native timber that was delivered was 81.66 per cent. The
volume delivered to customers was impacted over the last two years due to
issues maintaining contract capacity in a highly competitive labour market.
(2) Yes.
(3) The Forest
Products Commission continues to deliver timber to customers with whom it has
contractual obligations.
