This inquiry provided an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the timber and forest products industry, examine whether the legal framework regulating forestry operations is delivering its intended outcomes, consider the impacts of the devastating 2019-2020 bushfire season on forests and forest ecosystems, and explore future opportunities for the management of the native forest estate and its use by the timber and forest products industry. EDO welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the inquiry (see below).
