FOREST PRODUCTS COMMISSION —
KARRI AND MARRI INDUSTRIAL WOOD
32. Hon DIANE EVERS to the minister representing the
Minister for Forestry:
I refer to the Forest Products
Commission's tender RFT36/2018 for the sale of up to 435 000 tonnes of
karri and marri industrial wood over 18 months.
(1) How many applications were
received?
(2) Were any tenderers seeking to
buy the marri?
(3) If yes to (2), in what quantity,
for what purpose and, if possible, for what price?
(4) When will the selection process
be finalised?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I thank the member for the question.
The Minister for Forestry has provided the following answer.
(1)–(3) Tender
RFT36/2018 was a public tender process and closed on 6 February 2019. The
Forest Products Commission is not in a position to respond because the
evaluation process has not been completed.
(4) The FPC
anticipates that the evaluation process should be finalised by around the
middle of March 2019.
