View Unique or Special Wildlife Values Updates
The Plantations and Reafforestation Act 1999 (the Act) provides protections for biodiversity and threatened species. Additionally, provisions apply in relation to endangered species and communities to ensure specific evaluation in circumstances where they are likely to be impacted by plantation operations post authorisation.
The Minister (or delegate) is required to arrange an evaluation of a specified plantation operation’s impact or likely impact on unique or special wildlife values and for a report to be prepared on the matters specified in 34(2) of the Act when the Minister or delegate is notified by the plantation owner of manager or otherwise becomes aware that plantation operations on an authorised plantation have or are likely to have an impact on unique or special wildlife values.
The Minister administering the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 is notified of arrangements.
On consideration of the completed report the Minister or delegate may direct that plantation operations are not to be carried out in part or all of the plantation or for specified periods, or place restrictions on plantation operations in all or part of the authorised plantation where required to minimise adverse impact on unique or special wildlife values. Any such direction becomes a condition of the authorisation.
