After timber shortages devastated the North American construction industry, Australia is predicted to soon follow.<\/em><\/p>\n

The next 15 years could see a deficit of 250,000 wooden house frames if more trees are not planted.<\/p>\n

The shortage may slow the development of building projects while pushing up costs.<\/p>\n

Worldwide timber scarcity means Australia will have to rely on domestic supplies exclusively, as one quarter of timber is currently imported.<\/p>\n

Master Builders Australia Chief Executive Officer Denita Wawn says the crisis is a \u201cwake-up call\u201d for Australia to act now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe housing construction industry is the engine room of the Australian economy and it needs a consistent, reliable domestic timber supply,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The need for plantations is dire considering about 30 years is needed for forests to mature.<\/p>\n

Recent building incentives in the country have led to spikes in construction but the shortage means projects are being delayed.<\/p>\n

This comes as Australian forests have shrunk over the last decade, largely due to the wildfires of 2019 and 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
