From Local Land Services –
As part of the NSW Government’s review of Private Native Forestry (PNF), we invite you to have input on how the state’s private native forest estate is managed.
The NSW Government has released the attached PNF Review Terms of Reference. The PNF Review seeks to balance the sustainable development of the private native timber and agricultural industries while recognising the environmental values of the private native forest estate.
Local Land Services will lead the PNF Review in collaboration with the Environment Protection Authority and the Department of Primary Industries.
We are seeking your early feedback and comments on how the PNF Review can meet the objectives and scope set out in the attached PNF Terms of Reference.
In particular, we are seeking your views on what is currently working well in the management of PNF and what can be improved, including:
- the PNF Codes of Practice
- the rules and regulations that govern PNF
- the PNF authorisation process, and
- PNF training and advisory services.
To have your say please make a submission by 31 January 2019. To make a submission:
- Fill out the submission form at www.lls.nsw.gov.au/pnforestry
