The Tweed Development Control Plan (DCP) is the Plan by which Council Controls Building and Development Works.
Section B2 of the plan, ‘Preservation of (Urban) Trees and Vegetation’, applies restrictions on the clearing of vegetation.
The CEC support that the draft includes a new protection level for urban local natives at 3 m or higher, previously 5 m, and exotics protected at 40 cm stem diameter, previously 80 cm.
These new reduced limitations are reflected in Table B2.1, urban vegetation which cannot be cleared without Council approval.
