Proposed changes to the NSW Land Management (Native vegetation) Code 2018: Submission to Public Consultation

The Wentworth Group appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed changes to the NSW Land Management (Native Vegetation) Code 2018.

The Wentworth Group supports in principle the proposed amendments to the Code, which will give effect to many of the recommendations arising from the statutory review of the native vegetation provisions of the Local Lands Services Act 2013. However, we caution that significantly greater reform (both legislative and non-legislative) will be required to deliver the NSW Government’s commitments to stop excess land clearing, reduce unallocated clearing and improve native vegetation management on private land.
