For the 1991 agreement, see New Zealand Forest Accord.
The West Coast Accord was an agreement signed on 6 November 1986 between government, industry and environmental organisations concerning the forests of the West Coast of New Zealand.
The major focus of the Accord was for the sustainable yield of timber from the indigenous forests on the West Coast.
The signatories were:
Minister for the Environment
West Coast United Council
Native Forest Action Council
Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand
Federated Mountain Clubs of New Zealand
West Coast Timber Association
Westland Timber Workers Union
It was cancelled on 15 May 2000 by the Forests (West Coast Accord) Act 2000. From 31 March 2002 the forests in public ownership were no longer logged and were reclassified for conservation purposes.[1]
The Accord was doomed to failure since there were conflicting opinions between industry and environmental groups as to what constituted sustainable management of the forests.
