NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT When do you need Council approval to remove vegetation? Council regulations apply to the clearing, lopping or disturbing (e.g. slashing or grazing) of: • native vegetation understorey (in some areas); • native trees; • vegetation near the coast or waterways; and • trees listed on the Kingborough Significant Tree Register. Before clearing native bush on your property (including understorey scrub) you should contact Council staff for advice about permit requirements. The Kingborough Planning Scheme applies to all land use or development. In particular, the following activities are very likely to require a permit: • any new works or clearing near the coast or waterways; • any works less than 50m from a skyline or ridgeline; • any works impacting on vegetation in the Environmental Management Zone; • any works impacting on more than 500m 2 of native vegetation in all other zones; • any works in any zone impacting on vegetation containing values listed in Table E10.1 in Code 10 of the Scheme and located within the Biodiversity Protection Area. Some use or development is ‘exempt’ from the planning scheme and does not require a planning permit, including: • targeted removal of environmental weeds, in accordance with State government guidelines; • maintenance of existing bushfire management zones around dwellings in accordance with an approved bushfire hazard management plan (retaining large trees); • maintenance of existing agricultural infrastructure without increased clearing beyond previous use boundaries. Other agencies in Tasmania also regulate vegetation removal. It’s important to check their permit requirements before removing vegetation. For example, clearing for forestry or agriculture may require a certified Forest Practices Plan, and clearing for dam construction may require a permit under the Water Management Act 1999. Clearing can also impact on threatened species, and may require a permit under the Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 and/ or Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
