Looking at the dashboards on licence issuing, two licences have a clear-fell year of 2021. Only those two licences can go towards meeting the shortfall in the supply of timber at present. Forty-eight licences will not even commence harvesting until 2022. As we are coming into the winter months trying to meet demand for timber, we are looking at the wrong thing when we are looking at the dashboard or we are not getting enough detail on the dashboard if our concern is timber supply.
