Public Access to Forest Practices Plans

Under the Forest Practices Code, Forestry Tasmania is required to notify and consult with local government and with neighbours. The objective is to encourage effective communication and consultation with respect to proposed forest operations. Operations staff will provide full briefings to direct neighbours and/or persons directly affected by the FPP in question.

Forestry Tasmania complies with the requirements of the Forest Practices Authority in respect of public access to forest practices plans. Copies of plans are made available on request, after removal of any commercial-in-confidence information. These copies are at no cost to directly affected parties and cost recovery for indirectly or non-affected parties. Forestry Tasmania's Guidelines for Public Access to Forest Practices Plans provides guidance to staff dealing with requests for this information.
