natural assets local law application (NALL)

Depending on your site’s location and the stipulations of the Local Authority, the vegetation present may be subject to protection under Federal, State, or Local regulations, or a combination thereof.

Species might be classified as vulnerable or endangered under Queensland’s Nature Conservation Act 1992 or under the Australian Government’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

You must get a permit before you can clear or work on protected vegetation. Brisbane City Council also have a Natural Assets Local Law 2003 (NALL) which helps to protect natural assets.
