NSW laws that make land clearing easier reinstated by Berejiklian government
The New South Wales government has reinstated laws that make land clearing easier after a court ruled they were invalid last week. On Friday, the NSW land and environment court ruled the Land Management (Native Vegetation) Code was invalid, since it was not approved by the NSW environment minister before it was implemented by the primary industries minister. The code was created to exempt clearing from the usual development assessment procedure and was introduced after the NSW Coalition government overhauled the state’s conservation laws in 2016, making land clearing easier for farmers. But the laws were thrown into disarray on Friday when the Nature Conservation Council (NCC) of NSW won a challenge against them, after it was revealed the proper procedure for implementing them had not been followed. “This is not simply a matter of incorrect paperwork,” said David Morris, the chief executive of the environmental defenders office NSW. The move was condemned by the NCC.
