Western Australian Regional Forest Agreement third five-yearly review

​It is a requirement of clause 36 of the Regional Forest Agreement for the South-West Forest Region of Western Australia (Western Australian RFA) that a review of its implementation is undertaken every five years.

The purpose of the third five-yearly review is to assess progress against the milestones and commitments in the Western Australian RFA for the third five-year period of its operation (2009– 2014).

Western Australian Regional Forest Agreement

The Western Australian Regional Forest Agreement (WA RFA) provides a framework for the sustainable management of Western Australia’s public and privately owned forests.

The Australian and Western Australian Governments signed the WA RFA on 4 May 1999. It was varied on 29 March 2019 to extend its duration by 20 years and to establish an automatic extension mechanism, with subsequent five-yearly extensions contingent on satisfactory completion of five-yearly reviews.
