Under the Commodity Levies (Harvested Wood Material) Order 2013, the Forest Growers Levy Trust (FGLT) has set the levy payable for the 2017 levy year (1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017) at 27 cents per tonne of harvested wood material (exclusive of GST).

The FGLT notes that the levy rate has remained at 27 cents since the implementation of the Levy Order (the Order allows the rate to be set from 27 cents to 30 cents per tonne).
