Status, Perceptions and Priorities of EWP Industry in Australia
PROJECT UNDER DEVELOPMENT
The project aims to understand the barriers, enablers, and motivators influencing the adoption of engineered timber in Australia’s built environment. It uses a mixed-methods approach to gain insights from various stakeholders within the timber supply chain. The project aims to generate new knowledge on sustainable transitions within the timber industry, combining
qualitative and quantitative methods for a holistic understanding.
The expected outcomes include new knowledge on sustainable transitions in the timber industry, enhanced capacity to build stakeholder collaborations, refined research methods, and a roadmap to promote engineered timber adoption. This should provide significant benefits, such as s increased use of engineered timber, driving innovation and facilitating more informed decision-making processes for all stakeholders involved in timber adoption.
