View answerA tree felling licence was issued to the person named in August, 2020. The decision to grant a licence was subsequently appealed to the Forestry Appeals Committee (FAC) and the licence is therefore currently suspended.
As the FAC is operationally independent of my Department, I cannot enquire into an individual licence. The FAC will notify the parties to this case when a hearing is scheduled and advise of their decision, when available.
