Iconic West Australian Timbers Unavailable After 2024 Logging Ban

The impending logging bans on all native West Australian timbers mark a significant turning point in the availability of cherished woods like Jarrah and Marri. This decision, geared towards environmental conservation and sustainability, means that the supply of these unique and highly sought-after timbers will be extremely limited for the foreseeable future.

As a result, the iconic Jarrah and Marri logs, renowned for their beauty and durability in timber flooring, will no longer be accessible, making existing stocks a rare and valuable commodity for homeowners and designers alike.

Collaborating with Farmers for Ongoing WA Timber Availability

While the 2024 ban on logging West Australian timbers presents challenges, our company’s approach offers a silver lining.

By sourcing logs from local farmers, we not only support their livelihoods but also ensure continued access to some raw materials, including prized timbers like Jarrah and Marri. This collaboration is crucial for the farmers, who need to clear their lands for agricultural management, and it allows us to sustain a supply of these unique timbers.

The quantities and availability will be variable, but our commitment to supporting local farmers ensures that we can still provide these distinctive West Australian timbers, albeit in a more limited and exclusive manner.
