Protected Vegetation (Natural Assets Local Law 2003) — Significant Native Vegetation

Brisbane City Council’s Natural Assets Local Law 2003 helps protect our city’s natural assets, including bushland areas, wetlands, waterway corridors and trees. The Significant Native Vegetation (SNV) category protects all native vegetation on properties identified in Council’s significant native vegetation mapping layer. The law is in place to protect the city’s natural vegetation and delivers a balance between protecting the city’s environment and people, property and lifestyle. This mapping does not include all protected vegetation, it only includes the Significant Native Vegetation category as mapped under the Natural Assets Local Law 2003. Vegetation that has been recently protected (last 6 weeks), vegetation protected by a condition of a development approval, heritage protected vegetation or vegetation protected by a covenant on title is not included in this mapping. To find out if your property has protected vegetation, including vegetation protected by the Natural Assets Local Law 2003, you can use the Protected Vegetation Online Enquiry Tool to obtain a property report. Further information about Protected Vegetation and the Natural Assets Local Law 2003, including how to apply for a permit, can be found by visiting the Brisbane City Council website and searching 'protected vegetation' or by phoning Council’s Contact Centre on [phone].
