Responsibility for preparation and making of codes
60T Responsibility for preparation and making of codes
The Minister is responsible for preparing and making land management (native vegetation) codes under this Division.
The Minister may make a land management (native vegetation) code only with the concurrence of the Minister administering the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016.
When preparing or giving concurrence to a land management (native vegetation) code, the Minister or the Minister administering that Act (as the case requires) is to have regard to the principles of ecologically sustainable development (described in section 6 (2) of the Protection of the Environment Administration Act 1991).
Note.
Those principles require economic, social and environmental considerations to be effectively integrated in decision-making processes.
A land management (native vegetation) code is to be published on the NSW legislation website.
