Common use of Supply of timber Clause in Contracts

Supply of timber. The State shall ensure that CALM through its Executive Director shall supply up to 150,000 tonnes of dry jarrah (Eucalyptus Marginata) of firewood quality suitable for the production of charcoal (or an equivalent amount of green jarrah and dry jarrah both of firewood quality) per annum from the jarrah forest upon reasonable and commercial terms and conditions to be negotiated and agreed between CALM and the Company for a term of fifteen years with the right to an extension of the said term for a further term of five years. If the Company desires an expansion of the capacity of the silicon plant the State shall investigate its capacity to supply further quantities of dry jarrah of firewood quality within the limits of good forest management as it is at that time able to supply from the jarrah forest or, if the State determines that the requisite supplies are not available from that source then such other forest under its control, if any, as may be a practicable and commercial source of supply for the Company having regard for the place or places of its operation. For the purposes of this Clause, dry jarrah means dead jarrah from which the bark has been shed, green jarrah means dead jarrah from which the bark has not been shed.
