Investigating opportunities for renewable energy projects in NSW State forests
In 2021 the NSW Government amended The Forestry Act 2012 to allow renewable energy projects in softwood plantations. This change recognised that these opportunities can complement a region’s timber production in a number of ways, aligning with State and Commonwealth government initiatives to decrease carbon emissions and shift towards a renewable energy supply.
Renewable energy projects could help strengthen regional prosperity with infrastructure and employment benefits during construction and operation.
Renewable energy projects are well suited to pine plantations because they:
- have existing roads and access to transmission infrastructure
are located in windy areas
- offer large contiguous tracts of land for strings of turbines
- are located away from residential areas - minimising impacts to communities.
Opportunities at a glance
As part of a commercial process, pine plantations near Oberon, Sunny Corner, Bondo and Orange were identified as locations to explore.
We then invited proposals from the renewable energy industry to develop concept plans for wind farms. Our review of proposals considers:
- how well the proposal can be managed alongside renewable timber
the proposal’s renewable energy potential
- the commitment to sustainability, social responsibility and community consultation displayed in the proposals
- potential commercial benefits to Forestry Corporation and the State of NSW.
In line with the legislation, we will only consider opportunities that are in a pine plantation and with a cumulative total of less than 0.7 per cent of our pine plantation land.
Once we have reviewed the proposals, we may issue up to four forest permits to renewable energy companies.
Permits allow companies to start community consultation, investigations and, if feasible, planning.
The NSW State Government (as the approval authority) will then review the proposals and decide if they can be built.
Renewable energy companies will have to go through the same assessment and approval processes as any other proposal in NSW.
First Nations communities will also be engaged in line with NSW planning requirements and Forestry Corporation policies. We will also ensure we will meet the requirements of the Native Title Act.
Permits and planning
We are planning to issue permits for the investigations phase by mid-2024. Detailed assessments will start after this.
A forest permit does not guarantee an identified opportunity will move ahead. The permits would allow companies to start investigating and, if feasible, planning to develop the opportunity as a project.
Renewable energy companies will need to:
- complete wind studies
- consult with the community and stakeholders
- carry out environmental studies
- design the project
- negotiate grid connection
- seek NSW government planning approval.
Renewable energy company requirements
We are not responsible for carrying out investigations but will work with renewable energy companies as they complete their studies and assessments.
If the opportunities prove viable and are approved by the NSW Government, there will be strict conditions imposed on the renewable energy companies to minimise impacts to the environment and community.
We expect the planning and approval process to take up to six years.

Planning a native forestry operation
มุมมอง 9792 ปีที่แล้ว
State forests have been producing renewable hardwood timber for more than 100 years. Before a single tree is harvested, there is a long process of careful planning.

Timber is natural, durable and beautiful and when it comes from carefully planned operations in responsibly managed forests it is the most sus...

    So a calling alpha male looking for a mate equals a healthy and viable breeding population? You will need to provide more compelling evidence of the presence of healthy females and juveniles if you expect the average punter to believe that this makes it OK to continue with your industrial logging practices which can clearfell up to 40 Ha at a time.

  • @nottenvironmental6208
    @nottenvironmental6208 ปีที่แล้ว

    Changing the definition of plantation forests now include native forest's is another unsustainable management decision. The propaganda in this is misleading. "Gentle approach complimentary with water and biodiversity " what a blatant lie. Industrial logging is killing of the forestry industry by degrading the resource. It costs 20million to keep native forestry running in NSW. Burning koala trees in power stations is against community wishes. You can't say you use a renewable resource when you are not allowing it to renew. As a trained forester, I am disgusted that nsw values are being given away to private corporations while damaging roads, water, biodiversity and sedimentation etc. Stop wasting our money

    On the NSW mid north coast your '100 years' of native forest logging has converted diverse native forests into weed infested Blackbutt dominated ridges and slopes. How has that provided benefit for native wildlife? Your 'expert scientists' claim is a nonsense which the on the ground public do not buy. Stop wasting public money on these useless and demeaning PR campaign videos. Please get out of the native forests which still have a chance of regenerating into something decent, and invest in world's best practice silviculture hardwood plantations which are managed for genuine long term industry viability and sustainability.

    The impression given in these Forestry Corporation ‘promos’ is in direct contradiction to pretty well all other evidence (recognized anyway) of declining Koala numbers across all NE NSW jurisdictions. For FC to claim that - “the environmental laws governing State forestry are serving koalas well, with past timber harvesting having no impact on koala occupancy in the north-east NSW.” is simply nonsense. This is not supported by the official records of koala sightings in local areas, including bionet records, which FC themselves are supposed to contribute to. If Forestry Corporation were really serious about accurate koala data then they would not only be surveying for alpha males but healthy resident breeding populations. Costly and time consuming, and obviously not worth the expense given the huge annual losses incurred by NSW FC harvesting operations in native forests.
