Clearing of Native Vegetation Within Various Road Reserves and Other Shire Reserves, Shire of Capel
Overview
The Department of Environment Regulation has referred a clearing application to the EPA for a decision on whether or not to assess the proposal and, if so, the level of assessment. The application, from the Shire of Capel, is to clear up to 75 native trees within road reserves and other Shire reserves vested with the Shire (over a 5 year period), for the purpose of hazard reduction, where individual trees have been assessed (by the Shire) to be hazardous.
The proposed clearing of individual trees may include areas subject to the Environmental Protection (Swan Coastal Plain Lakes) Policy 1992.
What happens next
Following the seven day public comment period and consideration of any comments received, the EPA will decide whether or not this proposal requires environmental impact assessment and, if so, what level of assessment will be applied.
The Chairman's decisions on level of assessment are released each Monday on the EPA's website.
