Forestry in Australia

The Regional Wellbeing Survey team have worked with Forest and Wood Products Australia to understand how the Australian forest industry contributes to rural communities, and how people find living with the industry.

Below are links to reports for the project:

• Forest industry workforce: socio-economic well-being and community contributions 
• Socio-economic impacts of the forest industry: Queensland (PDF)
• Socio-economic impacts of the forest industry: Tasmania (PDF)
• Socio-economic impacts of the forest industry: South West Slopes & Central Tablelands (PDF)
• Socio-economic impacts of the forest industry: Victoria (excl. Green Triangle) (PDF)
• Socio-economic impacts of the forest industry: Western Australia (PDF)
• Socio-economic impacts of the forest industry: Green Triangle (PDF)

The Regional Wellbeing Survey (RWS) team have prepared a report for NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) examining stakeholder and public views and priorities for forest monitoring in NSW. This was done as part of a broader project managed by NSW DPI assessing the feasibility of a permanent cross tenure forest monitoring program (FMP) in NSW.
