Victoria's state-owned logging company doesn't comply with Australian requirements designed to stop illegal logging in developing countries, the state's Auditor-General has found

Victoria's state-owned logging company doesn't comply with Australian requirements designed to stop illegal logging in developing countries, the state's Auditor-General has found.

Road design relates to the route selection for access tracks to logging sites. These are cut through forests and across creeks. "Where there are many questions about the legality of native forest logging, including findings by the Victorian Auditor-General's Office that some VicForests activities are not consistent with requirements under Victorian law, then there is a clear risk that in accepting and processing Victorian native forest logs, Australian Paper is not complying with its due diligence obligations under the Illegal Logging Prohibition Act," she said.
