Timberline grows, harvests, saws, dries and sells softwood and hardwood timber for the Australian building and manufacturing markets.

Timberline grows, harvests, saws, dries and sells softwood and hardwood timber for the Australian building and manufacturing markets. The business manages a radiata pine plantation estate in the Green Triangle, holds harvesting rights in native regrowth forest in Gippsland under a state forest allocation, and runs a sawmill and kiln complex that turns logs into structural framing, appearance boards, fencing, pallet stock and landscaping timbers. A merchandising yard supplies frame and truss plants, builders, fencing contractors and timber merchants. Wood chips and sawdust from the mill are sold to board manufacturers and a biomass heat plant, so very little of each log leaves the site as waste.

The business is organised into six departments across three sites. Forest Operations plans and supervises harvesting, haulage, roading, silviculture and fire readiness from the Mount Gambier base. The Sawmill and Drying department runs a green mill, a dry mill and six kilns at Heyfield on two shifts, Monday to Friday, with a weekend kiln watch. The Saw Shop and Maintenance team keeps every blade, cutter head and machine in tolerance. Timber Merchandising receives graded product at Dandenong South, quotes and picks customer orders and despatches by company truck. Safety, Environment and Certification, and Corporate Services, support every site from Heyfield.

No log, load or deadline is worth an injury. Every person has the authority to stop a job that is not safe.

The forest is a long-term asset. Timberline regenerates what it harvests and protects soil, water, wildlife and cultural heritage.

A well set saw, a straight stack and an honest grade stamp are the difference between timber that performs and timber that fails.
