2023 GTTIA Awards

The 2023 GTTIA Gala Awards night was certainly one to remember.

With over 400 people from industry, government and community, the quality of our timber industry in the Green Triangle was on show!

The Green Triangle Timber Industry Awards and Gala Dinner would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors and suppliers. Their commitment and contributions continue to play a pivotal role in ensuring the awards success, creating the space and opportunity for industry leaders, government officials, and community members to come together and celebrate excellence.

We extend our thanks to all our sponsors for their invaluable support, our distinguished guests for joining us for the occasion, and the nominees, finalists, and award winners for their tireless efforts in shaping the future of the industry.
