QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the supply of jarrah sawlogs from state forests. (1) Will the minister table the probity auditor’s report on the final stage of the request for proposals process? (2) If not, why not? (3) Including the 131 000 cubic metres of first and second-grade jarrah, what is the total quantity of all jarrah logs available from state forests each year of the 2004-13 forest management plan expressed as gross bole volume?

I thank the member for some notice of this question. I have just received the answer so it may be some time before the member receives a copy of the typewritten version. However, it will be the same as the answer I am about to provide. (1)-(2) I will table the probity auditor’s report shortly after it has been completed which, I am advised, is still several weeks away. (3) The conversion between bole sawlog and the first and second-grade sawlog equivalent will vary with forest quality and structure, silvicultural objectives and other factors. Initial trial estimates indicate that 131 000 cubic metres will convert to approximately 188 000 cubic metres of bole sawlog. Nonetheless, the Forest Products Commission and the Department of Conservation and Land Management will monitor the volume of all log product categories harvested, and record the equivalent volume of first and second-grade sawlogs for verification purposes. The forest management plan states that the annual sustained yield for jarrah is 665 000 cubic metres, comprising 131 000 cubic metres of first and second-grade sawlog and 534 000 cubic metres of other bole logs. The latter figure includes that portion of boles that do not satisfy first or second-grade sawlog specification that is sold as bole sawlog.
