Abstract
The regional forest agreement process, as outlined in the National Forest Policy
Statement, offers a consultative process whereby Australian governments can reach
agreement on the long-term management and use of forests in a particular region.
This process will include comprehensive regional assessments to evaluate the
environmental, heritage+ social and economic impacts of alternate forest uses. These
assessments will assist policy makers to answer questions relating to trade-offs
between often competing forest uses, industry development options and changes to
forest product markets.
