Appendix A - SDAP - State Code 16 - Native vegetation clearing response

 Performance outcomes                                  Acceptable outcomes                               Response
  the cleared area is rehabilitated.
 Connectivity (natural channel diversion and contaminants removal)
 PO107 Regional ecosystems on the subject land         AO107.1 Clearing occurs in accordance with
 and any adjacent land retain sufficient vegetation    reference table 3 of this code.
 to:
 1. maintain ecological processes; and
 2. ensure the regional ecosystem remains in the
      landscape despite threatening processes.
 PO108 Where:                                          No acceptable outcome is prescribed.
  1. clearing of vegetation in a regional
       ecosystem does not maintain ecological
       processes; and
  2. the regional ecosystem does not remain in the
       landscape despite threatening processes; and
  3. the clearing cannot be avoided; and
  4. the clearing has been mitigated;
  the cleared area:
       a. is rehabilitated; or
       b. where the cleared area cannot reasonably
           be rehabilitated, an offset is provided for
           any acceptable significant residual
           impact.
 Soil erosion if the local government is not the assessment manager for the development application
 PO109 Clearing does not result in accelerated soil AO109.1 Clearing only occurs if an erosion and
 erosion within or outside the land the subject of the sediment control plan is developed and
 development application.                              implemented to prevent soil erosion and
                                                       instability resulting from the clearing.
 Salinity
 PO110 Clearing within 100 metres of a salinity        AO110.1 Clearing does not occur within 100

 following:
 1. waterlogging;
 2. the salinisation of groundwater, surface water
      or soil.
 Essential habitat (land restoration and natural disaster preparation) excluding essential habitat for Phascolarctos cinereus (koalas) if development is
 assessable under Schedule 10, Part 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017
 PO111 Clearing of vegetation in a regional            AO111.1 Clearing does not occur in essential
 ecosystem that is an area of essential habitat        habitat.
