''FOREST
MANAGEMENT PLAN 2014–2023'' — PROPOSED ADDITIONS
1278. Hon DIANE EVERS to the Minister for Environment:
I refer to the minister's
response to my question on notice 3062 on 15 September 2020 regarding additions
proposed to formal reserves in the ''Forest management plan 2014–2023''.
Given that only 210 hectares of the
proposed 205 000 hectares have been registered —
(a) how much is currently in the
process of being added;
(b) how much is
subject to the outcome of the south west native title settlement; and
(c) how much of the proposed 205 000 hectares does the
government anticipate will be achieved by 2023?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(a)–(c) The entire area to which the forest management
plan applies is within the south west native title settlement area. The area
and timing to progress the forest management plan tenure recommendations is
dependent on the timing and the outcome of the south west native title
settlement and any related land-based commitments.
