1.1a.iv Forest area change over time (2023)

This indicator (Indicator 1.1a) uses the area for each forest type over time as a broad measure of the extent to which forest ecosystems and their diversity are being maintained. Reporting on forest tenure aids our understanding of how different land management regimes may impact on forest biodiversity.

This part of Indicator 1.1a Area of forest by forest type and tenure, published December 2023, presents the change in forest area over time.

Forest inventory for private native forestry, farm forestry and Indigenous forestry: sector reports

The 'Forest inventory for private native forestry, farm forestry and Indigenous forestry' project was developed under the 2018 National Forest Industries Plan [3.1 MB] Growing a Better Australia – A billion trees for jobs and growth. A key goal of the project is to improve the national description of Australia’s forests in areas outside the publicly managed estate.

Regional profiles for forestry - data visualisation
