(1)(a)-(b) FPC does not separate discrete costs of implementation on the basis of a specific document. The overall direct costs of its operations which are authorised by the Forest Management Plan were for 2011/12:
Native forests - $34 379 000 for planning, harvesting and management.
Plantations - $45 786 000 for planning, harvesting and management.
Forest Practices Office - $684 000 for audit and compliance in environmental management and safety.
It would be difficult to determine these costs for each year since 2004.
(2)(a)-(b) FPC funds its activities in (1) from the sale of forest products.
