Under its “Protecting our old-growth forests” policy, the Government is committed to the full protection of all our remaining old-growth and high conservation value forests. The Government will create 30 new national parks, including the 12 new national parks promised under the Regional Forest Agreement. In total the Government plans to create approximately 200,000 hectares of new reserves in our south-west forests, in addition to the 150,000 hectares proposed under the RFA.
