There are fresh calls for forestry in Tai Rawhiti and Wairoa to be limited in a report by the forestry slash inquiry panel.
It calls the current situation an environmental disaster, and that Gisborne District Council has been too loose in regulations; something the council disagrees with.
The report was commissioned after forestry debris caused extensive damage earlier this year.
A 12 year old boy died at Gisborne's Waikanae Beach after being hit by a log, and 10 year old Juliana Marston fractured her pelvis in two places after being pinned under a large log at Midway Beach.
Her father Clint spoke to Max Towle.
