1. In Queensland, all plants that are native to Australia are protected plants under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, which
endeavours to ensure that protected plants (whether whole plants or protected plants parts) are not illegally removed from the
wild, or illegally traded. Prior to clearing, you should check the flora survey trigger map to determine if the clearing is within a
high-risk area by visiting www.des.qld.gov.au. For further information or assistance on the protected plants flora survey
trigger map for your property, please contact the Department of Environment and Science on 13QGOV (13 74 68) or email
[email protected]. Contact the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries before clearing:
