(1a-b) The terms forest residue and forest waste have similar meanings and refer to forest products that are currently unsaleable. They can include bole wood, branches and limbs of trees, stumps and other residues of logging operations.
(2 a-b) No.
(3) The Forest Products Commission is in the process of preparing a tender for the sale of native forest residue.
(4)
(a) The species would be jarrah, marri and karri.
(b) The amounts for each species are still being determined however residues would only be sourced from operations and within total harvest levels approved under the current Forest Management Plan 2004-2013.
(c) The most likely use for the residues would be as a product for the renewable energy markets. Furthermore, the residues would undergo a level of local value-adding and would not be exported to overseas markets in log form.
