54 reported for some sectors was less than in previous years, with many figures based on estimates. This may also have contributed to a reduction in numbers recorded. The reduction is noticeable with apiary (dropped by 19), grazing (dropped by 32), harvesting/haulage (dropped from 861 to 783), primary processing (dropped from 3932 to 3593) and ecotourism (dropped from 29 to 2). Forests NSW staff numbers are reported to have fallen by one to 511. Figure 2-6A: Forest sector employment (direct and indirect) – all regions (2007–2008) * Includes administration, maintenance activities, consultants and contractors. ** Processing occurs at a site where the input is raw material supplied by Forests NSW. *** Includes gravel extraction, forest product removal and miscellaneous timber harvesting. Source: Forests NSW data DECC yearly data/information discussion As of 30 June 2008, DECC’s Human Resources database listed 213 staff (including 43 casuals) attached to PWG who were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. This figure includes full-time, part-time and casual staff and covers all of NSW, i.e. it is not restricted to the FA regions. PWG direct employment Table 2-6C and Figure 2-6B outline employment figures for PWG in each FA region. These figures include permanent and temporary EFT; they do not include casual or seasonal positions. Overall there was a drop in employment numbers for all regions from the 2006–2007 reporting period.

Reporting issues/opportunities, recommendations for an evaluation of the indicator and caveats by PWG The methodology to calculate the PWG employment numbers is outlined below. The proportion of each PWG field-based area that fell within an FA region was calculated and the proportion applied to the employment figures for that area. The proportion calculated for the 2005–2006 year for employment in other PWG administrative units was used for the 2006–2007 and 2007–2008 years and applied to other relevant PWG regional, section or unit staff. These figures were added to give a total employment figure for each region. For all FA regions, total employment figures included all permanent and temporary staff located within each PWG region, although some proportion of staff time would also be spent outside the region. For PWG sections or units that do not have a defined boundary it is difficult to decide how many staff should be included when calculating total employment figures, as it is not possible to isolate forestrelated tasks from the broader range of work done by PWG. All staff from PWG Northern and Southern Branches, and relevant staff from PWG Central Branch, have been included whether they may or may not do forest-related tasks. Staff from the PWG Reserve and Wildlife Conservation Branch have only been included where able to be identified as doing forest-related tasks. There may be other staff elsewhere in DECC or within PWG who have minor roles in forest-related tasks in relation to the FA regions, but these are not easily identifiable and therefore have not been captured. Figure 2-6B: Total PWG (direct) and Forests NSW (direct and indirect) regional employment – all regions (2007–2008) No. of employees in forest sector 7500 5000 2500 0 2000- 2001* 2001- 2002 2002- 2003** 2003- 2004 Data for 1999–2000 have not been included, as an accounting error was made in employment figures for Forests NSW and incomplete data were available for employment by the PWG. ** Marked rise in total employment in 2002–2003 due to the inclusion of employment figures for the Southern region.
