After more than fifty years.

More than 50 years in business - and another forestry contractor is gone.

The reported collapse of Greenfreight's logging operations following the loss of its HVP contract is a sobering reminder of just how vulnerable Australia's forestry supply chains have become.

This was an established family business, operating since 1973, with decades of investment in equipment, people and specialist forestry transport capability.

When businesses like this disappear, we don't just lose trucks. We lose skilled workers, experience, regional employment and critical supply-chain capacity that cannot simply be switched back on when needed.

And this is happening in the plantation sector, the very sector that some believe can seamlessly replace Australia's native forest industry.

It is another reminder that a viable forest industry requires more than trees. It requires secure timber supply, commercially sustainable contracts, skilled contractors and sufficient confidence to invest.

Once that capacity is lost, rebuilding it is neither quick nor easy.

Our thoughts are with the Greenfreight employees, their families and the regional communities affected.
