Clearing for bushfire management

Development approvals for bushfire management clearing

You will need a development approval for any clearing that falls beyond the scope of the provisions for exempt clearing, or clearing using a code.

Special provisions apply if you are clearing during an emergency.

You may also need a development approval if the clearing is associated with a development application for a material change of use or reconfiguring a lot.
