Local Land Services Act 2013

A private native forestry plan has effect, subject to this section, for such period (not exceeding 15 years) as is specified in the plan.

A private native forestry plan may be terminated by Local Land Services—

by notice to the landholder for the reasons stated in the notice, or

on application by the landholder for the surrender of the plan.

Local Land Services may not terminate a private native forestry plan by notice to the landholder unless it is satisfied that—

approval of the plan was obtained as a result of false or misleading information provided by or on behalf of the landholder, or

a requirement imposed by the plan or by an applicable private native forestry code of practice has been contravened by the landholder or by a person carrying out forestry operations on behalf of the landholder, or

no further forestry operations to which the plan applies are to be carried out.

A private native forestry plan may be varied by Local Land Services on application by the landholder.

Sections 60ZX and 60ZY apply in relation to the variation of a private native forestry plan in the same way as those sections apply in relation to the submission and approval of a draft private native forestry plan.

A variation of a private native forestry plan may change the landholder authorised by the plan to carry out forestry operations. If the ownership of the land concerned changes, the new landholder is entitled to a variation of the plan to authorise the new landholder to carry out forestry operations in accordance with the existing terms of the plan.

The regulations may make provision for or with respect to the termination or variation of a private native forestry plan (including the fees payable in connection with an application to vary a plan).
