Diprose Miller: Your forestry & transport experts
22 October 2024

One of the areas that we are qualified to provide advice on, is forestry and transport. The forestry and transport industries are among the most demanding industries that can bring high rewards but are also fraught with high risk.   


What makes our team exceptional specialists in this area is our complete knowledge and experience of the forestry sector. In a commodity-based industry we recognise that you must be quick to adjust to economic changes. Contractors, transport operators, and forest owners must stay current with management issues, pricing, investment analysis, and project evaluations including land use, crop types, and most typically, advice on the Emissions Trading Scheme. Planning ahead, mitigating risk, and asset protection, is critical.   


With our key experience in the industry, we can help you with all aspects of forestry and transport, and this is just the start – we have a qualified team who can then ensure that all those other specialist areas that you may need, like succession planning and property matters, are incorporated into your business solutions.   


We start with great financials and tax planning, so that we can create the best decision-making process on rates, cash flows, budgets, and funding. We will protect your assets, and when the going is good, we help you diversify your opportunities outside of the forestry and transport industry.


We think ahead by looking at what volume of work is coming online, what is current and projected in the world markets, and what challenges are coming up with mechanisation and technology.
