​The plan was developed to provide direction to enhance employment and profitability in Tasmania’s forest sector. The elements of the plan are consistent with the recommendations made to the Australian Government in 2016 by the National Forest Industry Advisory Council for enhancing the industry nationally.

Strategies were developed to support the eight core elements included in the plan. These elements are:

  2. meeting community expectations
  3. Tasmania’s wood and wood fibre resource
  4. research, innovation and extension
  5. encouraging investment
  6. essential public infrastructure
  7. market development and strategic marketing
  8. skills retention and development.
