Timber Promotional Council
The Timber Promotion Council (TPC) was formed in1969 by a State Government act resulting from the need for a centralised autonomous body which could promote Victorian hardwood timbers. Today, TPC is leading the push in Australia for the responsible use of our forest resources
For the last five years, TPC has played a pivotal role in developing greater market awareness and acceptance of Natural Features in Victorian hardwoods. These include gum veins, pin holes and natural color staining. The inherent strength and beauty of Natural Feature Victorian Ash, Messmate and River Red Gum make them perfect for flooring or joinery specification. In fact, Australias highest selling bedroom suite is made from natural Feature Victorian timbers!
