FORESTRY ACT 2012 - SECT 69M
Granting of approvals
69M Granting of approvals
(1) Approval for the carrying out of forestry operations to which this Part
applies may be granted under this Part. Such an approval is called an
"integrated forestry operations approval" .
(2) This Part does not prevent or
affect the carrying out of forestry operations authorised by or under any
other provision of this Act or any other Act or law. However, the carrying out
of forestry operations to which an integrated forestry operations approval
applies is subject to the terms of the approval.
Note : Forestry operations
the subject of an approval are excluded from environmental assessment and
approval under Part 4 or 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act
1979 --see section 69W.
Note 2 : Section 122(2) of the Protection of the
Environment Operations Act 1997 provides a defence to the offence of polluting
waters under that Act if the act was the carrying out of a forestry operation
authorised by an integrated forestry operations approval and was carried out
in accordance with the approval. A similar defence applies to an offence
relating to the protection of animals and plants under Part 2 of the
Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (section 2.8(1)(h)) and of fish under Part
7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 (section 220ZF(1)(b3) and (b4)).
