Council’s forestry approach Debate

Economic Benefits - Productivity

Option 2

The comment supports Option 2 by arguing that the private sector is more efficient at managing commercial forests than councils, which implies that council resources could be better utilized elsewhere. Transitioning to non-commercial forest management is seen as a way to enhance the liveability and marketability of the city, potentially attracting more residents or tourists. This shift could lead to broader economic benefits by improving the city's appeal without the council needing to manage commercial forestry operations directly.
