Property maps of assessable vegetation (PMAVs)
PMAVs are property-scale maps certified by the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM). They show the boundaries of areas that can be cleared without approval, and areas for which approval may be required before clearing can be done.
Landholders should be aware that new arrangements protecting regrowth vegetation took effect on 8 October 2009. These arrangements replace the regrowth moratorium which ended on 7 October 2009.
More information about the new arrangements is available on the regulations for clearing regrowth vegetation web page.
PMAV applications
PMAV applications lodged before 26 March 2009 will be assessed based on the law at the date of application and will not be affected by the new regrowth arrangements.
For applications lodged after the 26 March 2009 and before 8 October 2009 – areas applied for Category X will be made Category X if it is either consistent with the moratorium act or if it meets the definition for Category X under the new laws. Departmental officers can provide further information about the status of PMAV applications and how the new regrowth arrangements affect them.
