% committed volume harveste 24 In the UNE during 2007–2008, 59 502 m 3 of quota sawlogs (66 861 m 3 when including poles and girders) was harvested from Forests NSW native forests and hardwood plantations. This represents only 55% of the committed volume (109 000 m 3 a year, as specified in the UNE IFOA) and is a reduction from the previous year. For the LNE region, quota sawlogs harvested from the region during 2007–2008 totalled 126 858 m 3 (155 981 m 3 when including poles and girders) representing 79% committed volume of 160 000 m 3 per annum as specified within the LNE IFOA. Quota sawlogs harvested from the Eden region are wholly obtained from Forest NSW native forests. Quota sawlog volumes in 2007–2008 totalled 22 677m 3 , which represented 99% of the committed volume (of 23 000m 3 in accordance with the Eden IFOA). No poles or girders were harvested in Eden. Quota sawlogs harvested in Southern Region totalled 71 107 m 3 (71 926 m 3 when including poles and girders). This volume represents 74% of the committed volume, which was an increase of 13% on the previous year, based on a committed volume of 96 500 m 3 per annum (48 500 m 3 South Coast and 48 000 m 3 Tumut). Pulp grade sawlogs also form part of quota sawlog volumes for the Eden region. 285 306 m 3 of quota pulp grade sawlogs was allocated in Eden in 2007–2008 or 83% of the committed volume based on a committed volume of 315 839 tonnes (t) a year. Committed volume percentages of pulp grade sawlogs since 1999–2000 are shown at figure 2-2B.

Non-quota sawlogs and pulp-grade timbers In 2007–2008, 435 492 m 3 of non-quota logs were harvested from Forests NSW native forests and hardwood plantations across all regions. This is a significant increase on the 388 205 m 3 of non-quota logs harvested in 2006–2007. Non-quota pulp grade timber harvested from Forests NSW native forest and hardwood excluding Eden totalled 283 781 t in 2007–2008. This is an increase of around 34 000 t from the previous year. Native forest and hardwood plantation pulp grade timbers for Eden region are not included here as they form part of the quota volumes designated in the IFOA. Non-quota figures are presented in Tables 2-2B and 2-2C. Table 2-2D summarises timber products supplied in all regions in 2007–2008 compared to 2006–2007.
