Harvesting, roading, and regeneration operations
Sustainable Timber Tasmania has released the annual update to its Three Year Wood Production Plan 2025-2026 to 2027-2028 to the Tasmanian community for feedback.
The Three Year Wood Production Plan identifies forest coupes in Tasmania’s public production forests that are available across a three-year period from which a schedule of harvesting, roading, and regeneration operations will be developed.
The Plan is prepared to demonstrate where and when Sustainable Timber Tasmania could undertake harvesting operations to make available eucalypt sawlogs, special timbers, veneer logs and peeler logs for its customers.
Why is the Three Year Plan important?
The release of the Three Year Plan provides an opportunity for stakeholders to identify which forest coupes and future operations may be of interest.
- Inviting community feedback on the Plan is part of Sustainable Timber Tasmania’s commitment to engaging with local stakeholders.
Your feedback will be considered during detailed operational planning and decision making processes.
How is it developed?
The Three Year Plan is developed from modelling and spatial data and includes coupe names, provisional coupe sizes (not final harvest boundaries), location coordinates, anticipated harvest type and method, and an estimate of anticipated volumes of log products for recovery.
Important information
Please note that not all forest coupes listed in the Three Year Plan will be harvested, and final harvesting and regeneration details for each coupe may be different from what is listed in the Plan.
This is because Sustainable Timber Tasmania has not yet undertaken its detailed operational planning process.
On occasion, it may be necessary for Sustainable Timber Tasmania to include or remove coupes in its Three Year Wood Production Plan. This may occur because of stakeholder feedback or were specific environmental, social, economic, or temporal reasons. Updated information will be made available through Sustainable Timber Tasmania’s website as soon as practicable.
