Martin, Rhett (2017) Victorian ecologically sustainable forest management: part 111 - regulatory theory and modality. Environmental and Planning Law Journal, 34 (3). pp. 209-237. ISSN 0813-300X
Abstract
Regulation that purports to address sustainability in natural resource management often fails to deliver sustainability, or even meaningful conservation of the natural resource. This is partly due to the absence of clearly defined sustainability goals, and the means to measure the application of steps to reach these goals. This article seeks to address this gap with respect to public forest harvesting in Victoria. By aligning regulatory theory with regulatory instruments designed to address sustainability in harvesting in State forests, a new form of sustainability regulation is discussed, enabling efficient measuring and monitoring of the progress toward particular sustainability objectives. Examples of actual clauses are given to provide practical examples, demonstrating meaningful sustainability regulation.
