Noosa 360

Further to our previous update on 8 February, we have received a response from the Minister’s office regarding use of the Vegetation Management Act.

They advise below in italics:

There could never be a permanent declaration issued under the Act to protect the vegetation at Grasstree Court. The provisions of the Act doesn’t displace the existing development approvals. This means there aren’t grounds for a temporary declaration to be issued because the Minister couldn’t reasonably think that the power should be used.

This information has been conveyed to those announcing this as a viable option for protecting the site and we continue to provide any assistance possible through state government channels.
