Native Vegetation Act

The Native Vegetation Act is legislation that aims to protect and manage the natural plants and ecosystems native to a region. Its goal is to conserve biodiversity, prevent habitat loss from development or farming, and promote sustainable land use. The Act typically sets rules on when and where native vegetation can be cleared or altered, often requiring permits or assessments. By safeguarding native plants, it helps maintain environmental health, supports wildlife, and preserves the natural character of the landscape for future generations.
