The transitional NVR map - land excluded from the LLS Act layer is a component of the transitional NVR map. The transitional NVR map was prepared by Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) under Part 5A of the Local Land Services Act 2013 (LLS Act) and supporting Local Land Services Regulation 2014. Section 60A of the Local Land Service Act 2013 (LLS Act) identifies land where the regulatory framework for native vegetation clearing in rural areas does not apply. This land is mapped as Land Excluded from the LLS Act on the transitional NVR map. The 2022 annual review of the transitional NVR map was published on 23 March 2022. Please read below for details of land types included in the transitional NVR map - land excluded from the LLS Act layer and changes occurring as a result of the 2022 Annual Review.
