19.01.2022 Land clearing legislation is currently being debated in both Queensland and New South Wales, the two states responsible for the majority of cleared land in Australias recent history. In Queensland alone, 296,000 hectares of bushland was cleared between 2013 and 2014. A number of suggestions for managing land clearing have been made, including policy regulation and... market based instruments. For these mechanisms to be successful, a better understanding of how to encourage, support and enforce compliance with vegetation laws is needed. Want to know more? Join us on Monday the 6th of Feb to hear a number of key experts discuss further. Go to http://www.aares.org.au//Annu/2017AC/2017AC_Homepage.aspx
