BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Bushfire damage to pine plantations could cost economy up to $36 million

February 16, 2016 Reprints

Damage to pine plantations in the recent bushfire in Western Australia is likely to cost the state's economy up to $50 million Australian ($36 million) in lost revenues, ABC Online reported.

The bushfires burned more than 3,300 hectares of Forest Products Commission's pine plantations in Myalup, Eckersley, Bombara and McLarty regions. The lost trees will cost the FPC around AUD 8 million to replace in the short term as the plantations were uninsured.
