2.2 Self-assessable codes
Some clearing activities can be undertaken using a self-assessable vegetation clearing code and notification process. The
codes can be downloaded at
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/codes/

If you intend to clear vegetation under a self-assessable vegetation clearing code, you must notify the department before
commencing. The information in this report will assist you to complete the online notification form.

You can complete the online form at

2.3 Area management plans
Area Management Plans (AMP) provide an alternative approval system for vegetation clearing. They list the purposes and
clearing conditions that have been approved for the areas covered by the plan. It is not necessary to use an AMP, even when
an AMP applies to your property.

If an area management plan applies to your property, it will be listed in Table 1 of this report.

To clear under an existing AMP, you must notify the DNRM before clearing starts and follow the conditions listed in the AMP.
You can download the area management clearing notification form and obtain a copy of the relevant AMP at

2.4 Development approvals
If your proposed clearing is not exempt, or is not permitted under a self-assessable vegetation clearing code, or an AMP, you
may be able to apply for a development approval. Information on how to apply for a development approval is available at
