Is the Government able to negotiate compensation rather than issuing a fine when trees have been illegally removed or damaged; if so, (a) under what legislation or regulation is this done, (b) does this compensation have to be in the form of replacement trees, or can other forms of compensation such as landscaping or shared path upgrades be considered and (c) is community consultation on the form of compensation permitted.
Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
There is no capacity under the Tree Protection Act 2005 or the Heritage Act 2004 to negotiate compensation rather than issuing a fine when trees are illegally removed or damaged. However, the requirement for a replacement tree or trees can be set as condition of approval.
Under the Public Unleased Land Act 2013 the Director-General can direct an entity to repair or replace public assets such as trees under Division 2.4 S21 (1) (ii).
