FOREST PRODUCTS — PRODUCTION COSTS
963. Hon GIZ WATSON to the minister representing the
Minister for Forestry:
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 each of the last 10
years, 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?
