Lease name
Decision
What the decision relates to
Top-dressing and sowing seed
Duration of consent
10 years (including maintenance rights)
Reasons for decision
For the part of the consent that was granted
The Commissioner of Crown Lands has determined that there are benefits to farming from allowing the lessee to oversow and topdress on the approved areas to improve pasture quality as part of a wider development to manage scrub, stock and grazing.
Being able to carry out this activity will therefore make it easier to use the land concerned for farming purposes, and the conditions recommended will promote good management practice and mitigate effects on inherent values identified in the area.
For the part of the consent that was declined
The Commissioner of Crown Lands has determined that these areas contain inherent values related to indigenous vegetation, rocklands, wetlands, waterways and habitat for flora and fauna that are desirable to protect and that would be adversely affected by granting consent.
