After 47 years we are thrilled that Australasian Timber Magazine (formally Timberman) is transitioning to a fully digital magazine format.
Australasian Timber Magazine will continue to expand its unique industry segment’s coverage and promotion of timber manufacturing, technology, design, construction and products as consumers and governments increasingly recognise timber’s carbon saving advantages, Australasian Timber Magazine
This change comes with several exciting benefits for our readers and advertisers alike.
The decision to move from a print magazine to a digital format has been driven by demand from Australasian Timber Magazine readers and advertisers, evolving media consumption trends and the advantages digital platforms offer.
Audiences are increasingly seeking content that is accessible anytime, anywhere, on devices they already use.
A digital magazine meets these needs by offering greater convenience and flexibility, allowing readers to access articles on various devices.
It also allows readers to click on links contained in stories and in advertisements.
Furthermore, digital platforms provide valuable data analytics, offering insights into reader preferences, engagement patterns, and content performance allowing for more targeted content creation and personalized marketing strategies.
In our first fully digital edition of Australasian Timber Magazine we feature the announcement of the 2024 Timber Design Awards, with the overall prize going to the outstanding Embassy of Australia in Washington D.C. Designed by Bates Smart Architects, the project involved a delicate balance between cultural representation, iconic civic presence and practical security considerations. The inspiration came from
Australia’s iconic landscape and embodies the essence of the vast continent.
We also look in details at Phillip Island’s prestigious new multi-dimensional cultural centre in Cowes which won the Excellence in Timber Design (Sustainability) award.
We also report on the launch of an updated timber framing campaign with new assets and expanded digital push, and report on a world-first engineered wood product made exclusively from locally grown bluegum (Eucalyptus Globulus) timber manufactured in Warrnambool which will provide a pathway to address Australia’s growing structural timber market demand.
The Green Triangle Forest Industries Hub and Forest and Wood Products Australia, working in partnership with WTIBeam (formerly known as Warrnambool Timber Industries), have unveiled the first of its kind GL18 timber product which can be utilised in everything from flooring to roof framing in both residential and commercial construction.
And we look at reports of imported timber products that could potentially mislead consumers into thinking they’re from sustainable Australian sources, along with recent revelations that up to a quarter of products failed Federal Government inspection. It’s a situation which has Australian Timber Importers Federation concerned, with members facing one of the toughest battles to comply with some of the world’s strictest legislation aimed at combating the trade in illegally logged timber.
And we profile Neville Smith Forest Products, a trailblazer in Tasmania’s forestry sector, renowned for its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and responsible sourcing. Neville Smith Forest Products is a leader in the timber industry, with a heritage spanning over 100 years. NSFP is known for producing high-quality hardwood products, all sourced from sustainably harvested regrowth and plantation forests.
