NATIVE VEGETATION — CLEARING PERMITS
1305. Hon RICK MAZZA to the minister
representing the Minister for Environment:
On 21 August this year, during the
minister's contribution to the debate that followed my motion on
private property proprietorship that called on the government to repeal section
6 of the Environmental Protection (Clearing of Native Vegetation) Regulation
2004, which deals with environmentally sensitive areas, the minister said —
A
total of 924 clearing permits have been granted within environmentally
sensitive areas since the clearing provisions of the Environmental Protection
Act commenced on 8 July 2004.
Can the minister advise how many
applications for clearing permits were refused during the same period?
