National Centre for Timber Durability and Design Life

Library At The Dock

Revitalising timber durability research

Vision 

To be a global leader in timber durability and design life research.

The Centre has two over-arching goals:

  • Create coordinated research in timber durability
  • Educate a new cadre of research scientists to carry on the work across Australia

The Centre was established with support from the Federal Government, Forest and Wood Products Australia, USC, University of Queensland and Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries as collaborative partners. While the Centre partners are all Queensland-based, the Centre is national in scope. The initial support for the Centre is for five years, with the expectation of continued support as the Centre grows and matures.
