The ARC Advance Timber Hub’s demonstrated partner commitment to collaboration is very high, crucially, there is strong commitment to provide practical support and perspective from stakeholders across the full value chain. Timber processing is represented by innovators AKD, Hyne Group, Multinail, Peikko, Loggo, Stora Enso; with the demand side covering construction (Lendlease Construction, Rubner), construction technology (Meta-Mate, CLT Toolbox, Simpson Strong-Tie, Schmid Screws, SIHGA GmbH), design (ARUP, AURECON, Lendlease Digital, Northrop, Robert Bird Group, TTW, BG&E), architecture (BVN, Tzannes) and fire engineering (Bloom Fire Consulting, Semper).
Forestry and government stakeholder groups are included (NSW Department of Primary Industries, Queensland Department of Agriculture & Fisheries and Wide Bay Water and Waste – A Directorate of the Fraser Coast Regional Council) along with groups dedicated to delivering regional and timber-system transitions (FWPA, EWPAA, Indufor, Timber Queensland, Responsible Wood).
This is strengthened by our Chief Investigators from 12 Australian Universities and our Partner Investigators from 5 International Universities / Research Institutes.
The majority of Partner Organisation involvement builds on already-established research relationships, with further success expected to strengthen these ongoing collaborations.
