Sustainable Timber Tas’ Three Year Wood plan

Sustainable Timber Tasmania has released the annual update to its Three Year Wood Production Plan 2024-2025 to 2026-2027 to the Tasmanian community. Source: Timberbiz The Three Year Wood Production Plan can be accessed on Sustainable Timber Tasmania’s website at www.sttas.com.au The plan identifies forest coupes across Tasmania’s public production forests that may be available across a three-year period from which a schedule of harvesting, roading and regeneration operations will be developed. The release of the plan provides the community with an opportunity to identify which forest coupes and future operations may be of interest to them. Inviting community feedback on the plan is part of Sustainable Timber Tasmania’s commitment to engaging with local stakeholders. Feedback will then be considered during detailed operational planning and decision-making processes. Sustainable Timber Tasmanian encourages the community to: Visit sttas.com.au Read the Three Year Wood Production Plan View the access map to identify which forest coupes may be of interest to them Contact Sustainable Timber Tasmania with their feedback at stakeholder@sttas.com.au or (03) 6169 2800. The Three Year Plan is developed from modelling and spatial data and includes coupe names, provisional coupe sizes (not final harvest boundaries), location coordinates, suggested harvest type and method, suggested regeneration and future use and an estimation of anticipated volumes of log products for potential recovery. The plan contains a significant amount of information, so to make it easier for people to read and understand, a spatial layer is developed and available to view on a map of Tasmania. This can be viewed on the access map on Sustainable Timber Tasmania’s website at https://sttas.com.au/ourresponsibilities/operations/three-year-wood-production-plan It’s important to understand that not all forest coupes listed in the Three Year Plan will be harvested, and final harvesting and regeneration details for each coupe may be different from what is listed in the Plan. This is because Sustainable Timber Tasmania has not yet undertaken its detailed operational planning process, including consideration of stakeholder feedback.
