Dugald Saunders, Minister for Agriculture (NSW), Minister for Western NSW, Media Release, 14 November 2022
The NSW Government will not proceed with the Environmental Protection and Assessment Amendment (Private Native Forestry) Bill.
While this Bill upholds all existing protections for the environment, we will continue to have further conversations with local councils to progress legislation that unites communities and industry.
There is significant public interest in this Bill that warrants further consultation.
