Forest Management Act 2013

If the Forestry corporation and the holder of a forestry compensation certificate have agreed to vary the terms of the wood supply contract to which that certificate relates, the Forestry corporation must advise the Minister, within 14 days from the date on which the variation takes effect, of the varied terms.

On receipt of advice from the Forestry corporation under subsection (1), the Minister must amend the forestry compensation certificate to which the wood supply contract relates to give effect to the variation.

Before amending a forestry compensation certificate, the Minister – must be satisfied that there is an enforceable wood supply contract; and must have received from the Forestry corporation certification that, having regard to all other enforceable wood supply contracts, it is able to supply the quantities of wood specified in the wood supply contract in accordance with its terms.
