Forestry Committee Recommends Reclassification in Queensland
Brisbane reports the Forestry Committee favors reclassifying forest lands for settlement and open selection. It proposes shelving some reserves for timber removal, protecting cypress and hardwood grazing woods, and allotting Glastonbury and Harry’s Creek for settlement for 12 years. The plan calls for Gadgarra area opening, reduced royalties, higher rail freight on unparted timber, and increased Queensland timber freights. The report seeks federal help to curb imports and urges sale policies and alienation of timber lands under caution. The minister’s agreement remains unsettled with debates over opening state forests and settlement priorities.
