My Department received an application for a tree felling licence for the person named in April this year. The application has been referred to my Department’s Ecology Unit in order to assess possible effects on surrounding designated sites. A Harvest Plan has been received and once the environmental report is completed, the application will be opened for a 30-day public consultation period. When that consultation has closed, it will be referred back to my Department for further processing.
Subject to all of the above proceeding as standard, I expect that a decision will issue in approximately two to three months.
