Trees—planting
(Question No 2640)
Ms Lawder asked the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, upon notice, on 16 August 2019:
(1) What is the time frame for planting 500 000 trees at Ingledene Forest and will this project go to tender; if so, when will the tender be available.
(2) Will the tender include limits on the tree species planted at Ingledene.
(3) What other limitations will be placed on the tender for Ingledene Forest.
(4) How is the $3.40 per tree cost, from Estimates 2019-2020, calculated and what specifically is included within this $3.40 figure.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The 500,000 trees at Ingledene will be planted over two winter planting seasons commencing in June 2020 and concluding in August 2021. The project does not need to go to tender because existing panel contracts for forestry site preparation, nursery and silvicultural services provide value for money and expedience.
(2) The best Radiata Pine breeding stock is specified for use in the project. Other tree species will be planted for amenity, habitat corridors and buffers. These species will not be limited, but local provenance native species will be preferred.
(3) Standard and established conditions for commercial forest planting apply to the project.
(4) The estimate of $3.40 per tree includes site preparation, seedling purchase, planting, weed control and fertilising. All costs associated with commercial tree planting and establishment are calculated on a cost per hectare basis with an average of 1000 trees planted per hectare.
