We work closely with government agencies when our regulatory responsibilities overlap. This includes a memorandum of understanding with the Environment Protection Authority (PDF 816.5 KB) relating to pollution and smoke management and investigating compliance issues that are the responsibility of both agencies; and with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania on the Agreed Procedures for the Management of Threatened Species (PDF 2.8 MB). Other agreed procedures with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania include the Procedures for Managing Aboriginal Cultural Heritage when preparing Forest Practices Plans (PDF 2.4 MB) and the Procedures for Managing Historic Cultural Heritage when preparing Forest Practices Plans (PDF 1.7 MB). We also work with Private Forests Tasmania on the administration of private timber reserves.

We are partners with UTAS and work closely with researchers in many universities nationally and internationally.
