Forest policy in Australia
Regional Forest Agreements (RFAs) are 20-year plans for the conservation and sustainable management of Australia's native forests.
There are 10 Regional Forest Agreements in four States: Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales.
The Agreements provide certainty for forest-based industries, forest-dependent communities and conservation. They are the result of years of scientific study, consultation and negotiation covering a diverse range of interests.
Further information on State Regional Forest Agreements can be found at www.daffa.gov.au/rfa
