About the Framework
The COAG Standing Council on Environment and Water, represented by Ministers from all state and territory governments and the Australian Government, has endorsed Australia's Native Vegetation Framework for public release.
Australia's Native Vegetation Framework was released on behalf of the COAG Standing Council on Environment and Water on Thursday 19 December 2012.
Australia’s Native Vegetation Framework will guide native vegetation management across the Australian landscape. The framework recognises that native vegetation is crucial for the health of Australia’s environment, that it supports our economy and productivity as well as our biodiversity and that it is embedded within Australia’s cultural identity.
Note: Victoria supports the Framework in-principle and is not opposed to setting national directions relating to native vegetation management. However, Victoria is currently reviewing the state native vegetation regulations and the Victorian Minister for Environment and Climate Change is not in a position to consider endorsing the National Framework until the Victorian review is complete.
