Property vegetation management plans

All applications to clear require a property vegetation management plan (PVMP).

A PVMP provides the department with the information needed to make a decision on a vegetation clearing application. A PVMP must include details on:

1. the purpose of the application  - the clearing must be for one of the 'relevant purposes' described in the regional vegetation management codes
2. how the proposed clearing meets the performance requirements of the regional vegetation management code for the area
3. the location and extent of the area proposed to be cleared which can be shown by:

• Option 1: A map showing:

1. the boundary of the area on an image base; and
2. 5 or more points visible in the image base that correspond to identifiable fixed features; and
3. the Map Grid of Australia 1994 coordinates and zone references for each point, acquired by GPS or similar system of satellites that receives and processes information; and
4. a description of the feature that each point represents; or

• Option 2: a description of the boundary of the area by reference to Map Grid of Australia 1994 coordinates and zone references for the area.

A property vegetation management plan may include any other information the applicant considers may assist in the assessment of the application.
