Talk:Twofold Bay

"Conservationists argue..."
"Conservationists argue that woodchipping not only kills millions of native animals and birds, it is a major contributor to climate change." - Wouldn't this information be better placed on the Woodchipping page? Objections to a specific industry probably shouldn't be included on the page of every location that features such an industry. 58.179.51.91 (talk) 05:22, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

SEFE - export 1 million tonnes of woodchips
I hope to add more notes to this page. In the section headed "Industry" the comment is made "Last year, SEFE....". Some clarification of the term "Last year" needs to be made. To what year does it refer? The term is much too vague and will soon become meaningless. Phayla (talk) 06:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The fact was added in early 2007 so I assume it refers to 2006.  It needs to be referenced though.  The reference given at the time http://chipstop.forests.org.au/index.htm is still active and still discusses 1 million tonnes.  I do not believe that web site meets our standards of Reliable sources - it is not a third-party published source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.--Matilda talk 00:20, 29 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Government press releases are a reasonable source and this one http://www.eden.nsw.gov.au/mediarelease.html states (in April 2006) "During the last calendar year Eden exported over 800,000 mass tonnes of woodchips to various south-east Asian ports and almost 60,000 mass tonnes of softwood logs were exported to Japan and Korea. In addition, there was over 33,000 tonnes of pulpwood and wood waste products exported during the same period." I would cite it as   (format for template use is  ) Another source is http://www.eden.nsw.gov.au/ last updated 8 Jan 2008 which states "approximately 954,000 tonnes exported last year through the South East Fibre Exports Pty Ltd."
