Lower north east region IFOA

The NSW Government has remade the IFOAs for the Lower North East, Upper North East, Southern and Eden regions into one Coastal IFOA which is efficient, effective and enforceable, and reflects modern best-practice regulation.

The IFOA for the Lower North East Region was granted in 1999. The explanatory note (PDF 16KB) outlines the Lower North East IFOA’s relationship to the Regional Forest Agreements, the roles of agencies and Ministers in enforcing the IFOA, and the reporting and review requirements.

The Lower North East Region extends northwards from Newcastle to Sawtell, and west to Wollemi National Park and the New England Tablelands.
