Forestry Tasmania keeps production forests in restructureFriday 22 Mar 2013 The Deputy Premier Bryan Green on Monday announced Forestry Tasmania will remain a standalone corporate entity responsible for commercial wood harvesting and land management of production State forest as part of a major restructure of the business.Mr Green said Forestry Tasmania’s commercial and non-commercial functions would be separated. “This will allow Forestry Tasmania to focus on its commercial functions and its core business of managing production forests. Mr Green confirmed Forestry Tasmania would retain independence to manage State forests for commercial wood production following recommendations from the Forestry Tasmania Transition Oversight Committee (FTTOC). The Government has also decided to establish a new statutory parks and reserves authority within the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (under the National Parks and Reserves Management Act), bringing together responsibility for management of national parks, reserves, crown land and carbon in reserves. This will include responsibility for agreed areas of non-production forests that are currently managed by Forestry Tasmania. |
