Abstract
The transition in forest management from timber dominance to all the uses and values of the forest requires forest planning processes to be advanced. The context of forest management planning in Victoria is described. The Otway Forest Management Planning Project is described and reflections are made about generic criteria of relevance, guidance, coherence, durability, reality, credibility, acceptance and efficiency. The processes of advanced, modern forest planning are seen as epitomising those required for attaining ecologically sustainable development in other sectors.Keywords
