The NSW Government Department of Planning has advised Council that it currently has “no comments or recommendations”, as they are still working to establish an internal State position on Private Native Forestry (PNF).
A Consultation Report on PNF was submitted to the Department for Planning at the direction of the department for determination of a State position.
However, Council has been advised by the NSW Department of Planning that it has reviewed Kyogle Council’s Consultation Report on PNF, but are yet to take a position. No timeframe has been given by the Department of Planning for when a decision might be expected.
As such, Kyogle Council has taken this matter as far as it can, and will now await a decision from the State Government.
