Abstract

The purpose of the Code is to provide direction to timber harvesting managers, harvesting entities and operators to deliver sound environmental performance when planning for and conducting commercial timber harvesting operations in a way that: permits an economically viable, internationally competitive, sustainable timber industry; is compatible with the conservation of the wide range of environmental, social and cultural values associated with forests; provides for the ecologically sustainable management of native forests proposed for cyclical timber harvesting operations; and enhances public confidence in the management of timber production in Victoria's forests and plantations.
