Upper House inquiry opens

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 15 Januari 2013 | 19.55

LEGISLATIVE councillors will be able to vote on each of the 295 lots to be reserved under Tasmania's forest peace deal.

From today, the Upper House begins three days of public hearings into the Tasmanian Forests Agreement Bill, which was passed by the House of Assembly last year.

State Government representatives tabled 158 pages of amendments to the original 60-page Bill this morning. The amendments also include maps of the areas to be reserved.

The move came in the first session of the Legislative Council Inquiry into the Tasmanian Forest Agreement Bill 2012.

The amendments have been approved by a Cabinet sub-committee, made up of Premier Lara Gidding, Deputy Premier Bryan Green, Greens leader Nick McKim, Infrastructure Minister David O'Byrne, Attorney-General Brian Wightman and Craig Farrell, Leader of Government Business in the Upper House.

The Federal Government will commission a social and economic impact study of the agreement.

The Legislative Council will hear from and question signatories to the agreement as well as a number of industry bodies outside the negotiations.

They include the Tasmanian Tourism Industry Council, Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association, Tasmanian Minerals Council, Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Forestry Tasmania, Forest Practices Authority, Tasmanian Conservation Trust, Tasmanian Sawmillers Association and Australian Forest Growers.
