The property has since been sold and there is no current approval for land clearing on the property.

If the Commissioner finds there has been a failure to notify under Regulation 4 of the Soil and Land Conservation Regulations 1992, then the clearing will trigger the Transitional Clearing Provision under the Environmental Protection Amendment Bill 2002. Under the Transitional Provision, once the Bill is passed the Department of Environmental Protection may issue a revegetation notice to the land owner.
