HVP Plantations wish to advise of upcoming harvesting and haulage operations in Jagoes Gully at Wandiligong, which will continue the lifecycle of pine plantations in this area.

Harvesting

• This harvesting operation will commence late November 2022 and may continue into March 2023
• The current crop of trees was planted in 1985 and is ready to be converted into sawn timber and other building and paper products.
• The harvest worksite and a number of roads feeding into the worksite will be closed for the duration of the operation. For everyone’s safety, be aware of increased heavy vehicle traffic, machinery and road closures within the plantation.

Transport will commence a few days after harvesting commences. Our drivers will transport the plantation logs from the Wandiligong worksite to HVP’s customers in Myrtleford, Wangaratta and Benalla.

Timber will be transported out to Morses Creek Rd along Taylors Gully South Rd and Jagoes Gully Rd.
