This publication lists the more important wood properties of commercial timbers used for construction in Queensland. It also provides requirements and conditions of use for these timbers to provide appropriate design service life in various construction applications. The correct specification of timber considers a range of timber properties including, but not limited to, stress grade; durability class; moisture content and insect resistance. For the specification of timber sizes and spans, relevant Australian Standards and design manuals should be consulted—e.g. Australian Standard AS 1684 series Residential timber—framed construction parts 2 and 3 (Standards Australia 2006a;b.)

Book 1 explains the terms used; with reference to nomenclature; origin and timber properties presented under specific column headings in the schedules (Book 2). It also explains target design life; applications and decay hazard zones; presented in the Book 2 Schedules.

Book 2 consists of reference tables; presented as schedules A; B and C:

• Schedule A contains commercial mixtures of unidentified timbers and of some Australian and imported softwoods. Index numbers 1–10

• Schedule B contains Australian-grown timber species; including both natural forests and plantations. Index numbers 11–493

• Schedule C contains timbers imported into Australia from overseas. Index numbers 494–606

Each schedule has two parts presenting data in tables.
• Part 1: Nomenclature, origin and properties of imported timber species
• Part 2: Approved uses for commercial mixtures of imported timber species

The recommendations made in this publication assume that good building practice will be carried out.
