Forest Investment Account


The purpose of the Forest Investment Account (FIA) is to assist government to develop a globally recognised, sustainably managed forest industry. Administered by government or government agents, Forest Investment Account programs provide funding to forest sector associations, researchers, tenure holders, manufacturers, and government agencies to:

  • support sustainable forest management practices;
  • improve the public forest asset base; and
  • promote greater returns from the utilisation of public timber.

The Forest Investment Program Model shows how Forest Investment programs contribute to the achievement of these goals.
