No. You will need to make arrangements to pick-up the wood using your own transport and at your own expense. We expect the wood will be available either on-site from Kings Square or at a location nearby.

An internal panel made up of City officers will assess the EOI’s and make a decision on how the wood is allocated and to whom. The panel’s decision will be final.
