This legislation establishes a comprehensive framework for the dedication, management, and use of State forests and Crown-timber land in New South Wales. It creates the Forestry Corporation of New South Wales as a statutory body responsible for these lands. The Act aims for the Corporation to operate as a successful, efficient business, maximising the State's investment, while also upholding principles of ecologically sustainable development. Key aspects include regulating timber and forest product harvesting through licensing and fees, facilitating public access and recreational use, conserving fauna, and enabling renewable energy infrastructure in designated areas. It ensures forest operations are managed sustainably, integrating environmental regulations and providing for enforcement to maintain compliance across forestry activities.
