Clearing codes
Step 1 – Choose the right code

Before you start any clearing activities, we recommend you request a free property report and vegetation maps to help you identify which vegetation you are allowed to clear on your property.
Once you have your property report, scan the list below for a code that matches your clearing purpose. Click on the code title to show details and download the code.
If you're not sure of which code matches your clearing purpose or activity, refer to the overview beneath each code and the supporting documents.
Once you have determined which code to use, make sure you read the code carefully and understand all the requirements. You should also read the General guide to the vegetation clearing codes 3.4 MB) and any guide specific to the code you plan to use. You can also view ‘how to’ videos at the bottom of the page.
