Have Your Say on Native Vegetation Management in NSW

The NSW Government is proposing changes to the Land Management (Native Vegetation) Code 2018, and now’s your chance to have input.

The Code plays a key role in supporting landholders to manage their land productively, while also balancing biodiversity conservation across private rural land in NSW. The proposed amendments aim to strengthen environmental protections and deliver on commitments made under the NSW Plan for Nature.

🗣 Community input is vital. A Discussion Paper has been released to guide your feedback, and all members of the public are invited to make a submission.

📅 Submissions close: Friday 4 July 2025
