Informal Reserves. Reserves, on Public Land comprising an area identified as a Protection Zone under the Management Decision Classification System or other administrative reserve on Public Land which is managed to protect CAR values. • Values managed by prescription. These include those areas protected by management prescription under the Forest Practices Code or in Forest Management Plans.
Informal Reserves. This comprises elements of the Special Protection Zone (SPZ) in State forest.
Informal Reserves. This comprises elements of the Special Protection Zone (SPZ) in State forest. Values protected by Prescription. This comprises those CAR values protected by prescriptions. The CAR Reserve System covers an area of approximately 592,000 hectares (about half of the public land in the region or 26 percent of the entire region). Approximately 174,000 hectares have been added to the existing reserve system of 418,000 hectares.
Informal Reserves. These areas comprise: • FMZ* 2 (FMZ* 2) under SFNSW* Forest Management Zoning System (Attachment 5 provides a description of the Forest Management Zoning System). Mineral exploration* and mining* are permitted activities, but logging and grazing must be excluded. The Minister for Forestry must create these informal reserves* pursuant to the amended Forestry Act 1916 by October 1999 and they must be called special management zones*. • The FMZ* 2 areas will comprise:

Informal Reserves. 2.1 State forest areas 16. Indicative areas of new Informal Reserves totalling approximately 53,000 hectares are identified on Map 1.
Informal Reserves. This comprises those parts of the Special Management Zone under the Forest Management Zoning system that are greater than 40ha, and wider than 200m, or are directly adjacent to Dedicated Reserves. It also includes those areas dedicated as Crown Reserves under the provisions of the Crown Lands Act 1989 (NSW) and State Recreation Areas which are managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Plans of Management for Crown Reserves will be prepared by 31 January 2006. • Values protected by Prescription. These comprise those elements of habitat protected by Regional Prescriptions as will be detailed in the Integrated Forestry Operations Approval covering the Southern region and areas within the Harvesting Exclusions and Special Prescription Zone under the Forest Management Zoning system that, due to the size or shape, do not meet the Informal Reserve category outlined above. The Integrated Forestry Operations Approval complements the Dedicated and Informal Reserve network and includes additional levels of protection for rare non-commercial forest ecosystems, Old Growth forest, rainforest and threatened species in all areas that have been identified to be primarily managed for sustainable production. 5 NSW will finalise boundaries of the CAR Reserves with the exception of the Forest Management Zoning System by 30 June 2001. The Forest Management Zoning System will be finalised by 31 December 2001. The management intent of the CAR Reserve system as outlined on Map 1 will be implemented immediately upon the signing of this Agreement. Finalisation will include identifying suitable management boundaries. Wherever possible, these will follow easily identifiable features such as cadastre and roads and natural or ecological boundaries. Finalisation will also consider field verification of values being protected and appropriate boundaries mapped to protect the identified values.
Informal Reserves. This comprises those parts of the Special Management Zone under the Forest Management Zoning system that are greater than 40ha, are more than 200m wide, or are directly adjacent to Dedicated Reserves. It also includes those areas dedicated as Crown Reserves under the provisions of the Crown Lands Act 1989 (NSW) which are managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Plans of Management for Crown Reserves will be prepared by 1 January 2002 as outlined in the New South Wales Eden Region Forest Agreement. • Values protected by Prescription. These comprise those elements of habitat protected by Regional Prescriptions as detailed in Integrated Forestry Operations Approvals covering the Eden region and areas within the Special Prescription Zone under the Forest Management Zoning system that will be excluded from harvesting. They also include elements of the Special Management Zone that are less than 40ha and less than 200m wide. The Integrated Forestry Operations Approvals complement the Dedicated and Informal Reserve network and include protection of rare non-commercial forest types, Old Growth forest, rainforest and threatened species in all areas that have been identified to be primarily managed for sustainable production.

The Integrated Forestry Operations Approvals complement the Dedicated and Informal Reserve network and include protection of rare non-commercial forest types, Old Growth forest, rainforest and threatened species in all areas that have been identified to be primarily managed for sustainable production. The Dedicated Reserve component of the CAR Reserve System covers 255 300 ha, the Informal Reserve component 4 600 ha and the prescriptive component 7 900 ha. Together the Dedicated Reserve and Informal Reserve components of the CAR Reserve System cover an area of approximately 259 900 ha (about 56% of the Public Land in the region or 33% percent of the entire region). Levels of protection for Forest Ecosystems and Old Growth forest achieved in the Dedicated Reserve, Informal Reserve and prescription components of the CAR Reserve System are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The tabulated percentage area of these values in prescription includes elements of the Special Management Zone that are less than 40ha and less than 200m wide, as well as areas of Old Growth forest (and Forest Ecosystems within these areas) that will be managed by the Integrated Forestry Operations Approvals. The contribution of those elements of Special Prescription Zones managed specifically for conservation, and areas of rare non-commercial Forest Ecosystems managed by the Integrated Forestry Operations Approvals, have not been quantified in the table as they were not able to be identified and mapped. New South Wales agrees to establish all Dedicated Reserve and Informa...
