The Biodiversity Conservation Act requires landholders to obtain a biodiversity conservation licence to remove vegetation that is threatened, protected or forms part of a threatened ecological community, even if the vegetation poses a risk to human life and property. The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water developed the Unsafe Plants in Non-Rural Areas Code of Practice (2024) to simplify the process for landholders to remove unsafe native vegetation in non-rural areas that pose an imminent risk to human life and property.
