The FPC has identified 13 stakeholder groups (listed below). These groups represent individuals, groups and organisations with interests in, or who may be affected by the FPC’s activities.

To keep stakeholders informed and raise public awareness of the forest industry and FPC’s operations, we use a variety of methods including (but not limited to):

• Face-to-face meetings/phone/email
• FPC website information and news
• Social media updates
• Informing, consulting, and collaborating with other agencies and individuals including DBCA, DFES, local governments, community groups, landowners, Aboriginal groups, forest users, industry partners and many others
• Sharing information via community newspapers and newsletter publications
• Providing accurate and prompt information to the media
• Events participation
• Working with local organisations to support projects and initiatives that provide lasting benefits to regional areas through our Community Support Program
• Partnering with Forest Learning to support students, teachers, and the public
• Through publications

The FPC is committed to meaningful engagement with stakeholders to ensure stakeholder views, needs and expectations are considered. We are committed to adapting our engagement as part of this process and aim to:

• Actively seek to understand our stakeholders and acknowledge varying opinions, local knowledge, and expertise. Where stakeholder expectations differ, we will endeavour to find an appropriate balance.
• Provide multiple avenues for stakeholders to provide their feedback whether positive or negative.
• Respond to concerns, feedback and complaints in a timely manner.
• Identify and pursue opportunities for collaboration and mutually beneficial relationships.
• Build ongoing positive relationships with our stakeholders in a proactive and constructive manner.
• Ensure that information is communicated clearly and effectively.
   

The FPC welcomes stakeholder input into our forest operations and practices at any time. Let us know how we can improve our practices and performance; your feedback is always welcome and important to us. 

In all cases where consultation occurs, we strive to treat stakeholders fairly and with respect.
