FOREST PRODUCTS ACT 2000 — DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND CONSERVATION — SERVICES PROVISION
1041. Hon GIZ WATSON to the minister representing the
Minister for Forestry:
This was actually a question I asked
earlier in the week, and I understand the minister is paired today, but I think
the Minister for Child Protection might have an answer for the earlier one. I
will press on.
I refer to section 10(1)(m) of the
Forest Products Act 2000, which states that it is a function of the Forest
Products Commission to monitor the cost of production of forest products,
including the costs of services provided by the Conservation and Land Management
Act chief executive officer in respect of —
(i) the use,
management and protection, for any purpose, of land on which forest products
are located;
(ii) the management of forest
products;
(iii) the harvesting of forest
products;
(iv) the
construction of roads or other infrastructure for the purposes of managing or
harvesting forest products;
(v) silvicultural
operations and other preparations before, and silvicultural operations after,
the felling or cutting of forest products; and
(vi) regeneration of the forest
products after felling or cutting.
I refer also to the definitions in
section 3 of the Forest Products Act, which together define ''CALM act
CEO'' to mean the CEO of the Department of Environment and Conservation.
For the 2011–12 what was the cost of services provided by DEC for each
of the following —
(a) the use,
management and protection, for any purpose, of land on which forest products
are located;
(b) the management of forest
products;
(c) the harvesting of forest
products;
(d) the
construction of roads or other infrastructure for the purposes of managing or
harvesting forest products;
(e) silvicultural
operations and other preparations before, and silvicultural operations after,
the felling or cutting of forest products; and
(f) regeneration
of the forest products after felling or cutting?
