Abstract
Australia’s forests represent the seventh largest forest estate in the world encompassing native, planted and urban forests. The forest sector contributes $23 billion
dollars annually to Australia’s economy as well as providing ecosystem services that are difficult to quantify in dollar terms. Similarly, the heritage, amenity and tourism values while not quantified are undoubtedly large. Over 100 stakeholder groups have been identified, ranging from Federal, State and Local governments, to the forest wood and non-wood products sectors, the building industry, natural resource management groups and, environment and community groups.
