the Vegetation Management Act 1999.
 Question 3 for operational work applications —Under the Vegetation Management Act 1999, the proposed vegetation
clearing is only for a relevant purpose if the applicant satisfies the chief executive of the DNRM that the development
applied for is one of the purposes listed in section 22A of that Act. If the assessment manager is the local government,
the applicant must obtain confirmation from the chief executive of DNRM that the proposed clearing is for a relevant
purpose and provide this with the application. However, if the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and
Planning (DSDIP) is the assessment manager, the applicant has the choice of either obtaining this confirmation from
DNRM before making the application, or providing adequate information for the decision to be made on whether the
proposed clearing is for a relevant purpose at the time the application is made.
