Local Land Services Act 2013

Before a land management (native vegetation) code is made, the proposed code is to be made publicly available for a period of at least 4 weeks.

During the period of public consultation, any person may make a written submission to the Minister on the proposed code. The Minister may (but need not) make publicly available the submissions made on the proposed code (or a summary of or report on any such submissions).

The Minister is, before making a land management (native vegetation) code, to consider any submissions duly made on the proposed code.

If substantial changes are proposed to be made to a proposed code following public consultation, the Minister may undertake further public consultation on the revised proposed code.

A failure to comply with a requirement under this section in relation to a proposed code does not prevent the code being made, or invalidate the code once it is made.

The regulations may make further provision for or with respect to public consultation under this section.
