Thread: New Block

you can harvest timber off any piece of freeholdland in queensland. and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

unless the greens get their way then were all screwed.

so what size bit of ground?

yes it is illegal to plant camphor and any camphor you have i supposed to be removed. it is a noxious weed.

Now I'm not a Queenslander but I have seen some stuff in the QLD DPI sites that may contradict this.
regards inter

when they closed state forests and put VPO's on freehold land teh mills were guna be 20 years or more without logs before any plantations grew. so they braught in a thing called a forest practice.

we fill in a form and send it in tellign them we are carrying out forest operations on teh block and we are right to go. you dont ask for permission you tell them its happening. so long as you ad hear to the code you are right.

Forest Practice (Department of Environment and Resource Management)

hopfully ours is 40ha Block with the creek running trough the middle, block 30 or 31. As for noxious weeds when I see the council an forestry doing some thing bout giant rats tail an lantana I might give up on camphor

There would be other items to be met also where logging isnt allowed, some are, old growth forests, rainforest, endangered ecological communities, steep lands, aboriginal sites & buffer zones.
Which contradicts your statement of "you can harvest timber off any piece of freeholdland in queensland "
regards inter

exactly

but the state governtment has started sending in contractors if you dont take action on a notice to remove weens. one bloke with 10 acres got a bill for 10 grand. he wont pay and they are gunna take his property.

Keep the BS down then.

Its great natural Iron bark forest if some one wants to come split posts with me.

You can alwaysgo tomato picking up there if funds run low

can always sell split posts

The forest practice thing sounds sought of like the "settlement clause" here in WA. Any farm that was originally allocated a separate 5 acre title on it for potential school sites years ago was given a settlement clause where timber could be taken for personal use but not commercial use. This apparently still stands today.

Nah I ll come back west and play in the iron ore again

Inter my understanding of the Forestry Practices permit is that you can't use it on anything, but you can touch land which the DPI have mapped 'no go' although having said this, my understanding is based on info from others, so can't be totally sure of it's veracity without checking it out myself
