New QLD website & magazine promoting facts and resources

7 April 2025

This week peak industry body Timber Queensland launched a new website and released the annual partner magazine, Grounded, amplifying the association’s powerful voice on political, technical, market development, industrial and environmental issues.

Strategic Relations & Communications Manager Clarissa Brandt said as the public face for Timber Queensland the new website echoes the organisation’s mission to represent the State’s forest and timber products industry to government, specifiers, timber traders and the wider community.

“The website provides up-to-date facts and resources to inform the community about the role forestry and timber plays in tackling climate change and the environmental benefits of well-managed forests and timber products,” said Clarissa Brandt.

“From posting a new role on the free industry job board, accessing research and development reports to registering for an upcoming event and contacting us for technical advice the new website makes it easier to interact with the services we provide,” she said.

“We’re always working on projects to build a proud, self- sufficient and expanding industry, a refreshed website makes it easier for members and other stakeholders to access the outputs of these initiatives.”

Clarissa Brandt said that Timber Queensland’s our annual partner magazine, Grounded, is another communications channel that highlights the association undertakes to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and advocate for the interests of our members and the broader industry.

Available to read online in an interactive flipbook format, the magazine explores some of the behind-the-scenes details of the people and projects working to help Queensland’s forest and timber industry thrive.

“This publication is a great read, either online or print out and leave in your lunchroom to learn more opportunity and directions for our industry, available scholarships and meet the companies that support our industry.”

Access the Grounded magazine here, and Timber Queensland’s new website here.
