Forestry Tasmania may still be in line for more change

Friday 17 May 2013

Forestry Tasmania's chairman is not ruling out further job cuts at the state-owned company as the forest peace deal is implemented reports ABC News. As covered in last week’s issue, Managing Director Bob Gordon has stepped down and the board will soon start a world-wide search to replace him.

Forestry Tasmania has had to halve its workforce over the past few years to cope with the forest industry downturn. Chairman Bob Annells is not ruling out further job losses. The Government is moving to split the company in two, merging its non-commercial arm with the Environment Department. Mr Annells says the board will meet later this month to consider how to restructure the business in line with the forest peace deal.
