Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1365 asked in the Legislative Council on 26 November 2020 by Hon Diane Evers

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

TIMBER WORKERS — REGISTRATION

1365. Hon DIANE EVERS to the minister representing the Minister for Forestry:

I refer to the Forest Management Regulations 1993, part 2, ''Registration of timber workers''.

(1) How many workers are currently registered to engage in timber harvesting in a state forest or timber reserve?

(2) How many workers are currently registered to engage in the transport of log timber harvested in a state forest or timber reserve?

(3) How many workers are registered for both timber harvesting and the transport of log timber?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for some notice of the question. The following information has been provided by the Minister for Forestry.

(1)–(3) There are 792 timber workers currently registered to engage in timber harvesting in a state forest or timber reserve or in the transport of log timber harvested in a state forest or timber reserve. The Forest Products Commission's register is maintained in accordance with the Forest Management Regulations 1993, which do not require registration for harvesting and transport activities to be recorded separately.
