There have been significant changes in the forestry sector in recent years and a comprehensive review of forestry legislation is underway. When that process is concluded, the drafting of a forestry Bill to update and amend the Forestry Act 1946 will be finalised. The provision of a statutory basis for all appeals, including appeals against approvals to plant, is being considered in the context of the proposed Bill.
