(1) & (2) Harvesting and associated roading is not planned to commence until the public has had the opportunity to participate in the consultation process associated with the recently released Indicative Logging Plans. (3) Coupes 1 and 3. (4) The indicative quantities of timber products expected to be harvested from Palmer Coupes 1 and 3 are: Palmer Coupe 1 Jarrah first grade sawlogs approx. 3580 tonnes Jarrah second grade sawlogs approx. 720 tonnes Jarrah third grade sawlogs approx. 180 tonnes Jarrah residue logs approx. 3590 tonnes Other jarrah log products such as feature sawlogs approx. 30 tonnes Palmer Coupe 3 Jarrah first grade sawlogs approx. 6100 tonnes Jarrah second grade sawlogs approx. 1500 tonnes Jarrah third grade sawlogs approx. 300 tonnes Jarrah residue logs approx. 4370 tonnes (5) The riparian reserve adjacent to the Collie River has a nominal width of 200 metres either side. (6) The entire operation is separated from the Collie River by private property and the average distance the operation is from the Collie River is over 1000metres. At its closest point, an elbow of the meandering Collie River comes within 500metres of the operation, but again the operation here is separated from the River by private property. (7) Yes. (8) Indicative Logging Plans have been recently released for public comment and the community has the opportunity to participate in further consultation. Neighbours adjacent to areas proposed for harvesting have been advised in writing on 4 July 2000.
