Plantation Management – Regulation and Planning
Victoria
The Code of Practice
In 1989, the Victorian Parliament ratified the first Code of Forest Practices for Timber Production.
The Code set out appropriate, responsible standards for timber production in State forests, to better manage the potential impacts of forestry. The Code was revised in 1996 to take account of new research information and field experience over the previous six years, and from the implementation of the Code on private land which occurred in late 1993.
This 2006 Draft revision of the Code incorporates advances in scientific knowledge, the substantial change in legislation and regulation governing forest management in Victoria and improvements in operational practices over the last ten years.
The revised Code was released in May 2007 and is available at the link below.
