Native Vegetation Permitted Clearing Regulations

In December 2013, changes were made to the Victorian Planning Provisions with regard to biodiversity.

A new policy was incorporated into the VPPs, called Permitted Clearing of Native Vegetation: Biodiversity Assessment Guidelines (The ‘Guidelines’). The objective of the new policy is ‘No net loss in the contribution made by native vegetation to Victoria’s biodiversity’. This policy replaces the Native Vegetation Management Framework 2002.

The Goulburn Broken CMA acknowledges and respects First Nations people and the deep connection they have with their land and waters.


We acknowledge the Yorta Yorta and Taungurung people and their ancestors/forbears as Traditional Owners of the land and waters in the Goulburn Broken Catchment (and beyond). We value our ongoing partnerships with Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation and Taungurung Land and Waters Council for the health of Country and its people.


We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge and recognise the primacy of Traditional Owners obligations, rights and responsibilities to use and care for their traditional lands and waters.
