Management Procedures for timber harvesting, roading and regeneration in Victoria's Sate forests 2009
According to the following Management Procedures removal of forest produce from the State forest is not supposed to happen after sunset and before sunrise.
This does not include wood that has already been removed and stockpiled outside of the forests.
So if you see log trucks driving down the street at night you can record their details i.e.
- Street and location
- number plate
- details off the side of the truck such as name (if possible)
- time and date
Ask DSE where they were coming from because the truck drives logbooks should detail all of this.
