TIMBER Towns Victoria (TTV) on Monday released a statement acknowledging “a deep sadness and regret for the native timber harvesting communities and their families for the loss of regenerative native mixed species forest harvesting from actively managed forests in Victoria”.

In November 2019, the Victorian State Government announced a phase out of the native timber harvesting industry in Victoria by 2030.
