The Department of Communities (Communities) clears vegetation for new housing developments in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1986 and its subsidiary legislation.
Given that Communities owns very small lots of land which are vastly dispersed, this information would require a manual assessment and significant resourcing which is not considered an efficient use of Communities’ resources.
However, if the Honourable Member has a more specific question, the Minister will endeavour to provide an answer.
