(1)   Refer to table listed in answer (2)
(2) (a) The expected yield of sawlog figure is calculated by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions through the strategic inventory figures used for volumes in the Forest Management Plan.  The strategic inventory figure is at a landscape level not at a coupe level.
(2) (b) This table lists coupes recorded as harvested for jarrah and karri sawlogs in the calendar years 2019 and 2020, irrespective of the year they were first listed in the published annual harvest plans.  Minor volumes of sawlogs of other species (such as marri and wandoo) have not been included as coupe-level estimates are not forecast for these species.
