Overview
‘A nightmare!’ ‘A maze!’ ‘Can’t see the wood for the trees!’If such thoughts have occurred to you while trying to understand how native vegetation controls operate within, and around, the planning system, you would not be alone.
The purpose of this session is to peel back the various layers of regulation that sit within the Planning Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 and regulations, the Planning and Design Code and the Native Vegetation Act 1991 and regulations – and to better understand how they interact and, in some cases, overlap.
Key Learnings
- Overview of the Native Vegetation Act 1991 and Native Vegetation Regulations 2017, as relevant to the planning system
- Overview of relevant provisions within the Planning & Design Code, including Native Vegetation Overlays
- Understanding development application requirements, the role of ‘Data Reports’, clearance levels, and referral triggers
- Considering controls and exemptions in bushfire hazard areas
- Navigating the particular difficulties that arise where regulated tree controls overlap with native vegetation controls
