Oberon’s timber mills are a major feature of the town’s landscape, with billowing clouds of steam coming out of the factory stacks. The town is the timber processing centre for some 94,000 hectares of pine plantations, grown in the Central Tablelands of NSW. These massive plantations provide an environmentally valuable, renewable and sustainable timber resource for the NSW building industry. The enormous state of the art timber mill and MDF plant in Oberon are a major contributor to the local and the NSW economy.
