I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer is provided on behalf of the
Minister for Environment.
(1)–(2) The
recent survey by the Minister for Environment; Climate Action asks Western Australians
to share their views on the values and use of the south west native forests,
not the forest management plan. The minister's first relevant
stakeholder meeting following the announcement of the survey was with the Forest
Industries Federation (WA) on 23 June 2021. As the honourable member will be
aware, further consultation with stakeholders, including industry, will occur
throughout the formal drafting process of the upcoming forest management plan.
