ABOUT US
FPC (Forest Products Commission) is a Government Trading Entity that delivers timber products and services across three business segments – plantations, native forest and sandalwood. Our team engages with communities, industry and government to support a vibrant and sustainable forestry industry.
FPC owns and manages softwood plantations to support WA’s housing and construction industry. We are actively investing in the acquisition of new land and plantations to ensure future supply and assist in addressing the challenges of climate change.
FPC has transitioned its native forest business in alignment with the government’s changes in forest policy. This has resulted in a shift from commercial scale forest harvesting to the provision of services to the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions for forest health outcomes.
FPC employs 140 staff in ten locations across Western Australia.
