Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 789 asked in the Legislative Council on 1 September 2022 by Hon Dr Steve Thomas

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

FORESTCHECK

789. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the Minister for Environment:

I refer to Forestcheck and note that in 2016 Forestcheck was due to undertake an analysis of the previous 10 years of data and to report on the findings of that analysis.

(1) Will the minister table this report?

(2) If not, why not?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question. The following information has been provided on behalf of the Minister for Environment.

(1)–(2) No. The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions' approach is to publish outcomes of Forestcheck through peer-reviewed scientific journals that are available publicly when published. The current scientific paper that DBCA has prepared is in peer review with the scientific journal Forest Ecology and Management. Once the paper is published, it will be publicly available.
