The Victorian Government has commissioned a broad-ranging
review to safeguard the Victorian Forestry Plan – and the regional jobs and
environmental protections it will deliver.
A clear, accurate and enforceable Code is needed, supported
by strong enforcement powers for Victoria’s Conservation Regulator.
As a result, the Government has initiated a review of the
Code of Practice for Timber Production 2014 to:
. Minimise the risk to short-term supply obligations arising
from third-party litigation
. Ensure it remains fit for purpose and facilitates the
implementation of the Victorian Forestry Plan.
. Strengthen the regulatory powers available to the
Conservation Regulator
. Identify regulatory reforms informed by the 2019-20
bushfires.
