As Paul rightly says, the Native Vegetation Act in NSW covers clearing of vegetation for agriculture, and this does include the consideration of the Threatened Species Act. And yes there are still issues with the legislation (Invasive Native Vegetation and the undertaking of Routine Agraictural Management Actions being examples) in my part of the world the implementation of Property Vegetation Plans as part of the NVAct assessment has significantly decreased the area that has been given approval. It all comes down to whether you think offsets actually compensate for vegetation clearing, but a 10+:1 ratio offset (conservation:clearing) is still better than a 1:1 (or as it was in the past no offset and clearing went ahead anyway).
Cheers,
Peter

Graham

That's true but the Native Vegetation Act covers that.
