On behalf of the Minister for Environment, I thank the member for her question. The minister has replied — (1)-(2) The work undertaken by Kabay Rehabilitation Environmental and Biological Consultants Pty Ltd comprises background information to inform the development of the forest monitoring guidelines required by action 34.1.1 of the “Forest management plan 2004-2013”—the FMP. The scope of the work undertaken by Kabay Rehabilitation Environmental and Biological Consultants Pty Ltd related to identifying and categorising a list of monitoring activities undertaken by the Department of Environment and Conservation for the area covered by the FMP. As such, the final product was not in the form of a report but in the form of a spreadsheet listing monitoring activities. Development of the forest monitoring guidelines is underway and once complete will be publicly available.
