Commenced public review 18th May 2010
Date completed 2nd June 2010
Market definition
The ACCC considered the proposed acquisition in the context of:
- the market for the supply of softwood timber in Queensland, and
- the market for the supply of hardwood timber in Queensland.
However, the ACCC did not consider it necessary to form a concluded view in relation to market definition.
Competition analysis
The ACCC considered that the proposed acquisition was unlikely to substantially lessen competition in any relevant market given the absence of competitive overlap between the acquirer's existing assets and the acquired assets.
