Conservation SA Response to the Proposed Changes to the Native Vegetation Regulations 2003 (August 16)
Conservation Council South Australia’s comments on the draft regulations have been made with the State of the Environment report and Objects of the Act in mind.
Furthermore Conservation Council recognises that many of the permitted clearances (exemptions) have been in place for some time and that this review has enabled a clearer understanding of exactly how many exemptions have crept in. This has highlighted trends and assumptions that underpin South Australia’s direction in terms of native vegetation management which is both alarming and also not in the best interest of the State’s long term future.
