This is the other half of the three questions
I was talking about.
I thank the honourable member for some notice
of the question.
(1)–(2) The Cooperative Research
Centre for Forestry, of which the Forest Products Commission is a member,
investigated and reported on forest industry employment in 2008. I table a copy
of the report.
The
Conservation Commission of Western Australia's ''Forest
Management Plan 2004–2013 End-of-term audit of performance report'',
March 2012, page 105, provided CRC for Forestry employment data for 2006, 2008
and 2011. This data showed a 17 per cent decline in the number of persons
employed directly in native forest management harvesting and sawmilling between
2006 and 2008 and a levelling off of this decline after 2008. The Conservation
Commission, also in its ''Forest Management Plan 2004–2013
End-of-term audit of performance report'', March 2012, page 105,
requested the Department of Environment and Conservation investigate the cause
of not meeting KPI 13 and report to the Conservation Commission and to the
Minister for the Environment.
