Abstract: | Until recently the focus of forestry regulations in New South Wales (NSW) was on public rather than private lands. This paper
describes the process of developing legislation to control where and how private native forestry takes place. To date, the
lead agency in attempting to formulate a clear policy has been the Department of Natural Resources. First, through a series
of committee meetings of representatives of key stakeholder groups, a draft private native forestry code was devised and was
released for public comment. After a period of intense negative reaction from both those in favour of continuing timber production
in native forests and those in favour of requiring that private lands be managed as nature reserves, the draft code was withdrawn
and a government-appointed committee then began again the process of drawing up a code acceptable to most stakeholders. |
