Levelling the playing field: reforming forestry governance in Tasmania

Lunch-time Forum – Monday 15th March, 1pm,
University of Tasmania, Hobart (Arts Lecture Theatre)
A recently commissioned expert report into the regulation of Tasmania’s
forests & forests industry, ‘Levelling
the playing field: Reforming Forestry governance in Tasmania’ has found that
Tasmania’s forestry
governance environment is a tilted playing field which favours extractive
logging of State forests at the
expense of conservation, tourism and community interests.
At the legal and regulatory level, the report found that the web of
exemptions and special legislation
surrounding forestry creates an impression among many of one law for
forestry and another law for
everyone else. The report makes a number of recommendations aimed at fixing
this problem, such as the re-
structuring of Forestry Tasmania, and is seeking public comment. A
lunch-time forum with the report author
and others with expertise in the field, provides an important opportunity
for members of the public to
discuss this issue, ask questions, raise concerns, and provide invaluable
information.

What: Lunch-time forum
