National Forest Policy Statement

The 1992 NFPS is the blueprint for the future of public and private forests. It reaffirmed all government’s commitment to the management of our forests for all Australians.

In developing the NFPS the Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments have been mindful of the many conservation values of Australia’s forests, and of the contribution that forest-based activities make to the national economy and regional and local employment. This is reflected in regional forest agreements which define how a region’s forests are to be used for twenty years.
