Have your say on proposed changes to the native vegetation clearing regulations!
Victoria's ecosystems provide important habitat for our unique native plants and animals. A healthy environment is fundamental to the wellbeing of all Victorians.Government, business and community working together will ensure the native vegetation clearing regulations sensibly protect sensitive vegetation. After consultation with the community and key stakeholders, the Victorian Government has completed its review of the native vegetation clearing regulations.
The review outcomes will be delivered through system changes, which include an amendment to the Victoria Planning Provisions (VPP) and an ongoing program for those actions that are independent of the VPP.
The Government invites comment on the proposed changes before the VPP amendments are adopted. Expressions are sought of perceived implementation issues from people who may be affected by, or who are responsible for, implementing the proposed system changes.
The community can find out more information or provide comments on the changes to better protect and enhance our natural environment at https://engage.vic.gov.au/native-vegetation-review.
