The council had previously been an ad hoc advisory committee to the Government, Mr Elworthy said.
It was made a statutory body last year with the task of advising the Government and the industry on the medium to long-term development of forestry. He expected the council to start looking at a forestry development and marketing strategy which would assist forest growers and timber marketers in the future.
