Forest Products Commission

Working in plantation and native forestry across the diverse environment of Western Australia, the Forest Products Commission (FPC) is committed to close engagement with communities, industry, and government to support a vibrant, sustainable forestry industry.

Delivering timber products and services across three business segments – softwood, native forest, and sandalwood – the FPC is shaping the industry’s future with key priorities of timber production, forest health, and adapting to the challenges of climate change.

The FPC supplies timber products for the housing and construction industry in Western Australia, as well as for biomass, furniture making, artisans, and firewood. Sandalwood is used for incense, perfume, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
