‘Working Together to Build a Better North’
‘The Northern Territory Ord Valley Forestry Hub would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work, live and travel across. We recognise their connection to land, water and community; and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging’
The Forestry Industry Association Northern Territory (FIANT) was formed in 2020 and successfully applied to the Commonwealth in 2021 for the establishment of a Regional Forestry Hub. NTOVFH is one of eleven Commonwealth funded regional forestry hubs across Australia. It’s aim is to support industry growth within the NT & Ord Valley regions. The CRCNA – Northern forestry and forest products situational analysis published in 2020 in conjunction with FIANT has helped inform the Hub of it’s priorities ensuring the focus remains relevant and industry driven.
Forestry in the north has a longer history than most realise and has meant so much more than simply
the extraction of timber. For example; on Melville Island (north of Darwin) it has been supporting the culture, ceremony and way of life for the Tiwi people for many thousands of years.
