Forest Management Plan 2024-2033

Project
Proponent: 
Conservation and Parks Commission
Proposal description: 

The Forest Management Plan 2024-2033 (FMP 2024-2033) is a statutory plan for the management of approximately 2,522,000 hectares of land and waters vested in the Conservation and Parks Commission in the south-west of Western Australia, in accordance with the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 (CALM Act) to fulfil the statutory purposes for which that land is reserved.

The proposal is to undertake a range of management activities, the most significant being conservation reserve creation, ecological thinning, and prescribed burning, to balance multiple use objectives, deliver conservation outcomes and enhance ecological and climate resilience.

Following a statutory consultation period under the CALM Act from 18 October 2022 to 18 December 2022, the proposed FMP 2024-2033 has been amended in response to public submissions.

The FMP 2024-2033 references are available via the DBCA online library resource at https://library.dbca.wa.gov.au/#
