THE native forest industry, the state opposition and manufacturing union have welcomed the state government’s move to overhaul the timber code of practice but say it still does not go far enough to secure wood production.
Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio announced a review of the Code of Practice for Timber Production to provide “much-needed certainty” for conservationists, the forest industry and the Conservation Regulator.
The code plays a crucial role in regulating Victoria’s native timber industry.
The review improves and addresses the code’s deficiencies, aiming to set out a clear, internationally recognised definition of the ‘precautionary principle’ that “everyone can understand and apply”, Ms D’Ambrosio said.
