About us

The Forest Products Commission (FPC) is an efficient commercial Government Trading Entity that makes a big impact.  The FPC primarily works in the pine plantation forestry sector across the diverse environment of Western Australia.  Its work is shaping the future of the forest products industry.

The FPC has transitioned its business in alignment with the government’s changes in forest policy. This has resulted in a shift from commercial scale native forestry management to being a contract manager providing contracted harvest and haul services to the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions for forest health outcomes.  The FPC continues to increase softwood plantation development activity to support WA’s housing and construction industry.
