Title: N.Z. looking for more wood buildings.
Post by: Tom on November 18, 2006, 08:51:45 PM
"Forestry Minister Jim Anderton wants designers of government buildings such as schools, health clinics and offices to offer a version to be built in wood.

"The Government has got to give leadership here," Mr Anderton said.

The minister said he wanted to get more wood-based products into non-traditional uses, especially in commercial buildings."
