Cooran - Development Application

1.3 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.

As a result of the new laws, AMPs for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation and managing encroachment will
continue for 2 years. New notifications cannot be made for these AMPs.

New notifications can be made for all other AMPs. These will continue to apply until their nominated end date.

If an area management plan applies to your property for which you can make a new notification, it will be listed in Section 2.2
of this report. Before clearing under one of these AMPs, you must first notify the DNRME and then follow the conditions and
requirements listed in the AMP.

1.4 Development approvals
If your proposed clearing is not exempt clearing work, or is not permitted under an accepted development 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
