Does anyone know any good places to buy plywood in Perth besides Bunnings?

Just chasing plywood for projects like outfeed table, router table etc.

At $66 for a full sheet of 2400mm * 1200mm from Bunnings, I hope there is somewhere cheaper?

Any ideas?

I don't know if plywood is the best thing to be using for a router table, Unless it's formwork or marine play I rarely see pieces that are straight enough for those sorts of projects. I hate to say it but melamine coated chipboard and MDF are usually much straighter.

The plywood will be for the cabinet walls, doors etc, not the top :)

Fair enough.

There are 3 sellers in Quokka. One only has 4 mm and the others don't say what it is.

I looked at the new plywood stocks at Carbatec a few weeks back. Seems Ok for the asking price. It looks way better and flatter than the stuff at the big B. Not sure about screw holding quality though. When I need to use screws and require lots of screw holding strength then I pay more for Austral AC Aussie made plywood. Brilliant stuff and can be purchased from Mogan Timbers in Bibra Lake. Expensive though.
