Include the following wording in all FPPs – Reporting new sites for threatened fauna and flora If new sites for threatened fauna (e.g., raptor nests, devil dens etc.) or flora are found during the implementation of a forest practices plan, the sites must be reported to the Forest Practices Authority as soon as practical. SECTION 8: DUTY OF CARE If the management prescriptions for biodiversity values developed for the plan area (listed in Section 7) result in an area excluded from harvest that is above the Duty of Care threshold (see Guiding Policy of the Forest Practices Code) and the landowner/forest manager is not willing/able to meet the prescription through voluntary mechanisms then seek further advice from the FPA. Modified actions may need to be formulated to achieve the management objective for the species within the duty of care thresholds or the matter may need to be addressed through strategic planning, offsets or other legislative mechanisms. State forest planners should seek advice from Forestry Tasmania’s Sustainability Branch on the estimation of Duty of Care thresholds on State forest. Upload the final version of this biodiversity evaluation report and any supporting information (e.g., maps, database outputs, specialist advice) to the for monitoring purposes.. It is recommended that FPOs also keep a final version of this biodiversity evaluation and any supporting information, with the FPP.
