South East Queensland Forests Agreement (SEQFA)
Kroombit Tops Forest Reserve
In September 1999,the Queensland Timber Board, conservation groups and the Queensland Government signed The South East Queensland Forests Agreement.
The aims of the agreement are to:
- develop a world-class conservation reserve system
- ensure ecologically sustainable management of forests
- maintain a competitive and efficient timber industry.
The agreement resulted from an extensive review of the uses and values of the forested estate in the South East Queensland Bioregion, which began in the mid 1990s and involved local communities, conservation groups and industry.
As a result of the agreement, forest reserves are being transferred to the protected area estate, which will substantially increase its size in South East Queensland.
