If Victoria’s hardwoods are so valuable and so highly prized for furniture and furnaces that Victorian tourism opportunities are stifled and critically endangered species are pushed further towards extinction, then why is not more done to salvage timber from demolition sites?
Truckloads of hardwood framing and flooring end up as landfill while so-called green councils turn a blind eye.
Is this another example of knowing the cost but not the value? Or is the developer’s dollar worth more than our natural heritage?
