The Landholders' Guide to Vegetation Clearing Applications is now available from the Department of Natural Resources & Water. The department has produced this new guide in clear, plain English, to help landholders submitting applications to clear native vegetation. The guide includes information on when a permit is required, how to apply, how applications are assessed, and how NRW can help applicants.

This is the first in a series designed to assist landholders to understand the requirements under the Vegetation Management Act and how to apply for a permit to clear land. Landholders can apply to clear vegetation for reasons ranging from building to controlling weeds and clearing regrowth or harvesting fodder.

The Guide is available on line at www.nrw.qld.gov.au/vegetation. This webpage has extensive information covering all issues pertaining to vegetation management.
