The proposal is for a major staged expansion to Wespine's operations at the pine log sawmill, Moore Road, Dardanup.
By making adjustments, replacements and additions to the existing plant and equipment and methods of operation, Wespine proposes to progressively increase the throughput of the sawmill, via a series of stages, from the current annual log input capacity of 70,000 m3 to 400,000 m3 over a ten year period. Major changes involved in the upgrade of the Dardanup pine log sawmill involve replacement of existing equipment with more recently developed equipment, and additional handling, drying and machining capacity as the volume of intake logs increases.
