Toohey Forest Park - Brisbane City Council
Vegetation Protection
Brisbane City Council has a
vegetation management program designed around the
combined objectives of, firstly, maintaining open
space and hence amenity in the city and, secondly,
conserving biodiversity. Vegetation protection
orders and non-urban zoning are the regulatory and
statutory processes used to protect native
vegetation within the city. Vegetation protection
orders have been introduced and are targeted at key
natural areas and sites rather than covering every
property in the city. An order has the effect of
making vegetation clearance a development,
therefore requiring approval by the council. In
addition, land within the city may be zoned into
one of three non-urban conservation zones, ranging
from high value sites to lower value
sites.
