On Monday 3 September 2007 in accordance with the Forestry Marketing and Research and Development Services Bill 2007 and Forestry Marketing and Research and Development Services (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Bill 2007 the Forest and Wood Products Research and Development Corporation (FWPRDC) ceased operations and was replaced by Forest and Wood Products Australia Limited (FWPA).

The primary functions of FWPA are investment in research and development projects of relevance to the Australian forest and wood products industries as well as support for promotional and marketing activities on behalf of the industry.

Over the coming weeks the FWPA web page will be progressively developed to reflect the expanded role and functions of the new organisation however in the interim the majority of information available will be as per previous FWPRDC activities.
