1. History of the Timber Merchants Association
Twenty one merchants attended the inaugural meeting of the Timber Merchants Association of Melbourne on Friday 14 September 1883.
The objects of the Association were:-
" A combination of the firms interested in the Timber Trade of the Port of Melbourne, with the view of united action in all matters bearing upon the welfare and satisfactory working of such Trade, and to obtain an approved and decided opinion upon any points of policy or alteration in Trade arrangements that may present themselves.
Over the last 126 years the association has been involved in many issues on behalf of its members, promotion of timber, pricing, industrial affairs, government representation. The issues have changed though the role of looking after the needs of our members has not.
Currently the association is working in conjunction with a number of industry bodies in representing the industry to government bodies on such issues as Chain of custody and Certification for timber, Life cycle assessment and Green Star building regulations as part of the wider communities concern with sustainable timber products and building practices.
