Tasmanian Premier David Bartlett said on Wednesday that it is time for all parties concerned on the state's timber industry to finalise their discussions so the sector can move on and secure its financial security.

The Tasmanian timber industry and the state's environmentalists have been locked up in a bitter struggle to resolve their protracted differences on native timber harvesting and devise ways that would ensure the industry's survival in times of financial difficulties.

Formal talks between the two parties have been underway for three months now and Mr Bartlett hinted during his speech before the state parliament that stakeholders of the industry may be losing their patience as he called on both groups to get their acts together and conclude their negotiation.

The Premier said that people were demanding certainty and they want it soon enough as he informed the parliament that he would meet all the parties concerned in the coming weeks to possibly enjoin them to put a rest on their differences and finally come up with something concrete.

Mr Bartlett said that "I will be encouraging them to wrap up these talks, to put the stake in the ground so that we can move forward with certainly in the forest and forest sector."

Environmentalists welcomed the Premier's calls to put a stop on the prolonged negotiations as Environment Tasmania director Phil Pullinger revealed that his group's talks with the timber industry have so far yielded positive results.

Mr Pullinger shared that groups involved in the roundtable discussion have so far expressed good faith during the sessions as he stressed that "we've been very heartened by the amount of common ground that has been found."

He also expressed his hope that all the groups involved in the discussions would heed Mr Bartlett's calls and immediately work for the conclusion of the bilateral summit.
