It seems that the company ultimately behind the blue gum plantation alongside Candowie Reservoir which has been approved by Bass Coast Shire is Malaysian based Rimbunan Hijau.
Well the Shire and Westerport Water can expect more than a few complaints from people who drink the water once the planatation is in full swing. Have a look at http://www.masalai-i-tokaut.com/ to check out the prior performance of this logging group. The site mainly deals with old growth forest logging - but it demonstrates the cavalier attitude to the environment and people's rights.
