4.3 Referral Agencies

The following referral agencies have been identified for this development application
under the relevant section of the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998 (IPR):

Department of Natural Resources and Water (DNRW)

Vegetation Clearing

Clearing of native vegetation on the land subject to this development application is
proposed. A search of the EPA website for a Regional Ecosystem (RE) map has shown
the site to contain remnant “of concern” dominant vegetation. Therefore, the
application for ROL and MCU on land greater than 2ha, currently used for a rural
purpose and mapped as containing remnant native vegetation is referable to the
DNRW as a concurrence agency under the Vegetation Management Act 1999.
