As of 1 July 2024, Tasmania’s private timber reserve application fee will increase from $623.00 to $654.50. Source: Timberbiz The fee for a private timber reserve (PTR) application is payable to Private Forests Tasmania and represents the cost of processing an application to declare land as a private timber reserve. Private timber reserves create a secure environment for investment in private forestry within Tasmania and help to deliver commitments for the sustainable management of private forests. A PTR is an area of private land set aside for forestry purposes and registered on the title. It is land or forest used to establish forests or grow or harvest timber in accordance with the Forest Practices Code. PTRs may cover a single title or several titles and be over the whole of a title, or part of a title. It must be at least five hectares in size. A PTR provides long-term security to manage land for forestry purposes and local government approval is not required when undertaking forestry operations on land declared a private timber reserve.
