Review To Protect Victoria’s Forests, Jobs And Timber Industry.

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.
