This document establishes the strategic direction for the protection, enhancement and revegetation of native vegetation across the State.
The Framework provides the following:
- A transparent and consistent approach to valuing native vegetation - Habitat Hectares.
- A reporting framework which will enable accounting for progress toward the Net Gain result.
Net Gain is the primary goal that has been identified for native vegetation management. Net Gain is the outcome for native vegetation and habitat where overall gains are greater than overall losses and where individual losses are avoided where possible. The losses and gains are determined by a combined quality-quantity measure and over a specified area and period of time. Gains may either be required offsets for permitted clearing actions or as a result of efforts that are not associated with clearing.
