Apply for a Business Forest Access Permit to access our forests

Our forests are production forests where commercial forestry operations are being undertaken throughout. The risks and hazards associated with commercial forestry operations can include but are not limited to oversized vehicles, large plant and machinery moving around on our forest roads, and forestry workers and crews undertaking various operations throughout the forests. Therefore, we manage access carefully to ensure the safety of everyone in the forest. 

Business Forest Access permits are issued to allow access to our forests for business purposes. The permit application must include details of the vehicle(s) and a list of all drivers entering the forest in that vehicle. Any vehicle entering the forest must have a valid Business Forest Access Permit displayed on the front windscreen of the vehicle at all times. 

To apply for a permit

  • Each driver must have a current Business Forest Access Health & Safety Induction certificate or complete the induction here.
  • Complete and submit the Business Forest Access Permit Application form. Additional supporting documentation will be required as outlined in the form.

Our forests may be closed, or access may be restricted at short notice. When this occurs, we will post information here.
