PFSQ Landholder Guide
Native forest management on private land / establishment of plantations on private land; what are you legally able to do and what are the consequences? A booklet is now available to answer these questions such as:
- Can I manage native forest for timber?
- Where can a plantation be established?
- What is a forest practice?
- What is an ongoing forestry business?
- Is there a plantation code of practice?
- Is there a code applying to a native forest practice?
- Do I have to notify DNR&M?
- And much more
Many landholders find it difficult to come to an understanding of what constitutes a lawful pursuit in relation to sustainable forest management practices on freehold land. In Queensland we have gone through some rapid changes in state legislation, i.e. the Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA).

The fundamental rule of productive native forest management is to always leave a forest in a condition that allows it to regenerate and improve its productivity over time.
