Coalition to reopen timber harvest at Mount Cole

 "The Victorian Coalition Government will allow limited commercial timber harvesting in the Mount Cole and Pyrenees Ranges state forest for the first time since 2004 following a sensible proposal from the local community.

Minister for Agriculture and Food Security Peter Walsh said the re-entry to harvesting at Mount Cole would be limited to salvage and silvicultural harvesting.

“A conservative one-year, 600 cubic metre licence for the removal of storm-affected timber will be taken up by local Chute sawmill Pyrenees Timber,” Mr Walsh said."
