Local Land Services Regulation 2014

For the purposes of section 60H (5) of the Act, land contains low conservation value grasslands for the purposes of Division 2 of Part 5A of the Act if the land is determined to contain low conservation value grasslands under the “Interim Grasslands and other Groundcover Assessment Method” published by the Minister for the Environment in the Gazette on 25 August 2017.

For the purposes of clause 109, land contains low conservation value groundcover (not being grasslands) if the land is determined to contain low conservation value groundcover (other than grasslands) under the “Interim Grasslands and other Groundcover Assessment Method” published by the Minister for the Environment in the Gazette on 25 August 2017.

A determination referred to in this clause is not required under the published methods if the Environment Agency Head reasonably believes that an independent field assessment undertaken before the commencement of Part 5A of the Act has determined that the land contains high conservation value grasslands or other groundcover.
