27  Forest management plan for a re-stratified CEA

 (1) If a CEA is re-stratified in accordance with section 18, 19 or 20, the forest management plan must be updated in relation to each new CEA as soon as practicable, in accordance with this Division.

 (2) For each new CEA, the revised forest management plan must set out the same details of management actions already undertaken and disturbance events that have occurred, up to the date of creation of the CEA.

 (3) The default management regime for each new CEA in the new forest management plan must be the same as the default management regime for the original CEA immediately before the re-stratification.

Note: If the project proponent wishes to change the default management regime, the proponent must first update the forest management plan in accordance with this section, and then vary it in accordance with section 24.

 (4) In applying paragraph 23(2)(e), the comparison is to be made with the default management regime in the forest management plan in relation to the original CEA for the end of the previous reporting period.

Note: For a conversion CEA, the default baseline management regime depends only on the situation at the eligibility date for the CEA, and so will be the same for the new CEA.
