Forestry

Forestry is critical to Tasmania's future, and our role is instrumental in developing strategies and policies to ensure a sustainable forestry industry.

We provide advice on forest policy and implementation, as well as regulatory services around forest practices.

The Forestry fact sheet (PDF 1.5 MB) provides information on forestry in Tasmania, including land-use types and areas, forestry production statistics, the level of employment and economic activity in the industry, recent Tasmanian Government initiatives, and outlines the Forest Management System.

Legislative and Policy Framework

Tasmania's forest management system is a comprehensive system for delivering ecologically sustainable forest management across all land tenures. The system comprises an overarching legislative and policy framework.
