Development Application part 2 Planning Report MCU13/0051

Therefore clearing of remnant vegetation on a regional ecosystem or remnant map, for a
Telecommunication Facility can only be carried out if a permit is granted by DNRM, who
assesses the  application against the regional vegetation management codes. No permit is
required                      regrowth; however the department must be notified of the
             to clear regulated
intended clearing and compliance with the regrowth vegetation code.


6.3.1    Regrowth Vegetation

Under the VMA the subject site is mapped            containing areas of High Value Regrowth
                                                               as

Vegetation     that is classified as ’Of Concern  Regional Ecosystems’ and ’Least Concern
Regional Ecosystems’ (refer to Figure         6.1 below  and Appendix 5       Environmental          -




Searches). The proposed facility will utilise the existing internal access track which is
identified as running through areas of mapped Regrowth Vegetation. The location of the
existing access track can be seen on the attached drawings within Appendix 3 and in
Figures 5.1-5.4 and illustrates the internal access track has been previously cleared by the
property owner for the property owner’s benefit. Additionally the proposed development
will not require a permit or notification to the DNRM as the proposed facility compound will
be located approximately 100m from the assessable vegetation and no clearing is
required.
