Staff at the Eves Valley sawmill in Tasman are still trying to digest the news that their jobs are likely to end soon, a blow one worker said she never saw coming. Carter Holt Harvey told the mill's almost 150 staff this week about plans consolidate its operations to Kawerau in Bay of Plenty, blaming weak markets. It comes as the timber industry struggles with low demand, increased running costs, and wars and tariffs overseas. Samantha Gee reports.
Shocked and gutted. Those are some of the emotions workers at Carter Holt Harvey's Eves Valley Sawmill in Tasman District are feeling as they come to grips with its potential closure. Up to 150 people could lose their jobs if Carter Holt Harvey goes ahead with its plan to shut the mill down. It said it wants to consolidate resources at its Kawerau plant in Bay of Plenty. Nelson's Mayor said he was told there is nothing that council or the government could do to save people's jobs. Samantha Gee reports.
It's understood owners Carter Holt Harvey want to shut down the Eves Valley Sawmill and consolidate its timber operation at its Kawerau plant. The closure will cost more than 140 jobs in the Tasman district. The plan is under consultation until 1 September, but local leaders have little hope the proposal will change. Tasman District Mayor Tim King spoke to Lisa Owen.
There's belief the job losses at the Eves Valley Sawmill will have a significant impact on the area. Manufacturing company Carter Holt Harvey is proposing to close the mill, which would result in 142 jobs lost. It's wanting to consolidate its structural timber manufacturing to one site - in Bay of Plenty's Kawerau. Tasman mayor Tim King, lives next door to the mill and says there's no chance to change the company's mind. "The most significant impact - and most immediate - is on those 142 people employed at Eves Valley, but there is a wide range of other businesses that support the Eves Valley sawmill, it's a big component of the forestry sector in this region."
