Floodplain Harvesting Action plan

How we will implement the NSW Floodplain Harvesting Policy

We will:

• use the best available facts, data, and scientific analysis to underpin the licensing framework, and explain this work to you
• set clear rules for floodplain harvesting and consult with you about them
• ensure the rules are followed and;
• improve floodplain harvesting management over time.
