The FPC and NEEDAC employment initiative has enabled Aboriginal people to be employed for a minimum of 3 to 4 days per week on jarrah thinning for the FPC. (3) – (4) The Forest Enhancement Program was originally designed to provide employment for displaced timber workers affected by changes in the timber industry resulting from the Regional Forest Agreement. An amount of $3 million was originally identified by the WA State Government to be spent over a period of 5 years commencing in 1999. The FPC and NEEDAC employment initiative is approximately 50% funded through the Community Development Employment Project (CDEP is a government program administered by ATSIC) and approximately 50% funded with the Forest Enhancement Program funds.
