The public nomination process for the assessment of unmapped old-growth forest has been transferred to the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions as described in the Forest Management Plan 2014-2023 - Activity 7. The changed process is described on the Parks and Wildlife's Services Protecting our biological diversity page.

For a description of the old-growth forest assessment process which was employed by the Conservation and Parks Commission under the current plan up to April 2017, please refer to the Assessment criteria and process for the Conservation Commission review of old-growth amendments.
