Improving the coordination and effective use of resources allocated to research for ESFM in New South Wales. Preparation of a compendium of forest research. A compendium of New South Wales forest research must be prepared. An operational research trial within the Eden region is proposed to be conducted by SFNSW and EPA associated with selective harvesting from some filter strips. Continue to develop a suite of computational tools to help manage NSW forests at operational scales for a range of values, including wood yield, growth stage, water quality and quantity, natural and cultural heritage and wildlife habitat. Develop, by the end of 2010, a model to predict recruitment and maintenance of habitat trees over time. Deferred A strategy has not been prepared. However, some joint research occurs (e.g. on pests and weeds, threatened species and the Australian Research Committee project). Additionally, DECC’s (Parks and Wildlife Group) Southern Branch has established a Research and Survey Steering Group consisting of internal and external members. A draft research plan and operational plan has been prepared and is being implemented. Continuing No further progress to report. In progress Forests NSW publishes an annual report on its forest research activities, which includes a compilation of all publications and conference papers, published throughout the year. Forests NSW Annual Reports on research are available at: www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/research/forestry Forests NSW is a supporting member of the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Forestry. The CRC for Forestry mission is to support a sustainable and vibrant Australian forestry industry through research, education, communication and collaboration. Other research relevant to NSW is provided through national organisations, including the CSIRO, Forest and Wood Products Australia, and the Joint Venture Agroforestry Program. It is available at: www.crcforestry.com.au/ In progress Refer to milestone above. 2007 30 April Sthn Att. 6 (6c) Determine, based on review, field-based sampling In progress Deferred Operational research trial not implemented during 2007–2008. Continuing The spatial forest event management system GeoMaster (NZ Forest Research) was set up for evaluation and testing with native forest operations; testing is now complete. Development of some form of a geodatabase continues and is being distributed as part of a structured GIS-tools development program. Continuing No further work on this model has occurred during 2007–2008. NSW FOREST AGREEMENTS AND INTEGRATED FORESTRY OPERATIONS APPROVALS

The Minister administering the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 must prepare an annual report on this agreement, which will include ESFM and compliance with any IFOA for the region. Each annual report on the agreements is to be tabled in each House of Parliament by the Minister for Urban Affairs and Planning as soon as practical after its is prepared.
