National Forest Inventory Steering Committee

​​​Australia’s National Forest Inventory is guided by a National Forest Inventory Steering Committee composed of members representing state, territory and Australian government agencies involved in forest information management. The committee provides for expert representation from the state and territory governments and the Australian Government.  

Australia’s National Forest Policy Statement states that the National Forest Inventory: 

...will be directed by a steering committee representing the Governments. This committee will jointly define information requirements and develop data exchange principles between the Governments and with other databases.​ Such principles will cover, among other things, custodianship, maintenance and cost recovery. ​​

The National Forest Inventory Steering Committee is a co-author of Australia's State of the Forests Report with the Montreal Process Implementation Group for Australia. The Montreal Process Implementation Group focuses on policy issues relevant to Australia’s forests and led the development of Australia’s Sustainable Forest Management Framework of Criteria and Indicators.

A small National Forest Inventory management team within the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences​ provides secretariat support to the National Forest Inventory Steering Committee, in addition to carrying out core activities of the National Forest Inventory, including the collection, compilation, analysis and management of forest data, and the public communication of forest information, mainly via Australia's State of the Forests Report.
