Timber Development Association (TDA) NSW

Timber Development Association (TDA) NSW

The Timber Development Association of New South Wales (TDA) is a non-profit industry association representing all segments of the timber industry, from manufacture to supply. TDA was incorporated in 1938 and for over 70 years has effectively promoted the use and the sale of Australian and imported timber and timber related products.

TDA’s original mission was to promote the use and sale of timber of all kinds — whether native to Australia or imported from abroad. It was also mandated to promote the interests of all persons, firms or companies in Australia involved with timber or wood technology or engaged in forestry.

The TDA mission has evolved considerably over the years with TDA concentrating on the technical advancement and sustainability of the building and construction sector by R&D and education projects within the timber industry.
