What is a Native Vegetation Heritage Agreement
A Native Vegetation Heritage Agreement is a conservation area on private land. It is an agreement, established between the landholder and the Minister for Climate, Environment and Water. Heritage Agreements are established in perpetuity to protect and enhance the natural character of a site’s flora and fauna.
There are incentives available for landholders entering into a new heritage agreement or for those that already have an agreement. This includes a reduction in council rates.
Heritage Agreements have a minimum size
Heritage agreements can be as small as 1 ha if they contain rare or threatened vegetation communities, plant, animals or associated habitats. The minimum area is 3 ha for common vegetation types.
