Committed to a Greener Future
Sustainability is one of our core values at Merrett Logging, keeping the planet and our community at the heart of our business. Trees are vital to our planet’s carbon dioxide cycle and provide habitats for a variety of wildlife – and that’s why sustainable forestry is so important. We harvest our softwood every 15 years, only taking what we need without depleting our sources. Sustainability is ensuring we leave a better world for future generations.
Local Roots, Nationwide Reach
Merrett Logging’s base camp is in Penola, South Australia. However, we have a broader service area with a depot in Mount Gambler and deliver as far as Colac, and Geelong. We work within South Australia and Victoria’s green triangle, which spreads between Portland, Hamilton, Penola and Millicent. If you’re in the area, don’t hesitate to call us for all your forestry harvesting and haulage needs.
Stay Up to Date
As the demand for timber increases, it’s always best to keep up with the latest technology and news in the forestry industry. At Merrett Logging, we keep all our clients up to date with the latest, including new machinery and developments. We also encourage any of our clients to get in touch to discuss future plans with us – our friendly staff are happy to answer any questions you may have.

A big congratulations to Haddon, who’ll be taking the keys and putting the new machine to work. We’re sure he’ll enjoy getting behind the controls of this one!
A big thanks to the team at Brandt Australia for the delivery, setup and ongoing support. It’s great to have another impressive piece of gear ready to head to the bush.
Enjoy the new ride, Haddon! 🌲
