Protected plants flora survey trigger map
The protected plants flora survey trigger map identifies 'high risk areas' where endangered, vulnerable or near
threatened plants are known to exist or are likely to exist. Under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (the Act) it is
an offence to clear protected plants that are 'in the wild' unless you are authorised or the clearing is exempt, for
more information see section 89 of the Act.

Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for
information on what exemptions may apply in your circumstances, whether you may need to undertake a flora
survey, and whether you may need a protected plants clearing permit.

Updates to the data informing the flora survey trigger map
The flora survey trigger map will be reviewed, and updated if necessary, at least every 12 months to ensure the
map reflects the most up-to-date and accurate data available.

Species information
Please note that flora survey trigger maps do not identify species associated with 'high risk areas'. While some
species information may be publicly available, for example via the Queensland Spatial Catalogue, the Department
of Environment and Science does not provide species information on request. Regardless of whether species
information is available for a particular high risk area, clearing plants in a high risk area may require a flora survey
and/or clearing permit. Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of
protected plants for more information.
