PART III

TRUST’S DUTY TO CLEAR VEGETATION

DIVISION I—BUSHFIRE RISK AREA AND PRIVATE LAND IN

NON-BUSHFIRE RISK AREAS

Application of Division

5. This Division applies in relation to the bushfire risk area and private land in non-bushfire

risk areas.

ETSA’s duty

6. (1) ETSA must inspect and clear, to the extent required by this regulation, vegetation of all kinds from around public supply lines and naturally occurring vegetation from around private supply lines within four years from the commencement of these regulations and thereafter within three years after the preceding clearance.

* * * * * * * * * *

(3) ETSA must clear vegetation from within the clearance zone that surrounds the supply line as at the time of that clearance and beyond that zone so that—

(a)

no part of the vegetation is likely to bend into that zone in winds that might reasonably be expected in the area;

and

(b)

no growth or regrowth of the vegetation is likely to intrude into that zone before the next scheduled inspection and clearance.

(4) ETSA must not clear vegetation—

(a)

more than is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in subregulation (3) and for the purposes of enhancing the appearance and ensuring the stability and health of any remaining vegetation;

or

(b)

in any event, beyond the buffer zone around the supply line,

except at the request of the occupier of the land on which the vegetation is situated, in which case,

ETSA may but is not under any duty to do so.

(5) A request under subregulation (4) does not authorize clearance of vegetation that would be contrary to the provisions of any other law if carried out by the occupier.

Agreement with occupier

7. (1) ETSA may enter into an agreement with an occupier of land under which vegetation around supply lines in a specified area of the land is to be inspected and cleared more frequently than required under this Division.

(2) ETSA may enter into an agreement with an occupier of land under which the occupier undertakes to carry out the required inspection and clearance of vegetation on that land on behalf of ETSA.

(3) An agreement made pursuant to this regulation—

(a)

must be in writing;

(b)

must specify—

(i)

the area concerned;

(ii)

the intervals at which inspection and clearance must be carried out;

and

(iii)

unless the occupier undertakes to carry out the inspections and clearance on behalf of ETSA, the payments agreed between the parties in respect of the costs of the additional work required under the agreement;

(c)

may be varied or revoked by further written agreement between the parties;

and

(d)

has effect, and may be enforced, as a contract between ETSA and the occupier.

8. (1) An occupier or owner of land may lodge an objection with the Minister concerning a matter set out in a notice received from ETSA under clause 9(3) of schedule 4 of the Act.

(2) An objection under this regulation must—

(a)

be made to the Minister in writing;

and

(b)

be lodged with the Minister within 30 days after receipt of the notice to which the objection relates or such further time as the Minister allows.

(3) The Minister may refuse to consider an objection on the ground that—

(a)

the subject matter of the objection is substantially the same as the subject matter of an objection previously considered;

(b)

the objection is frivolous or vexatious or without reasonable basis;

or

(c)

the occupier or owner (as the case may require) has not made a reasonable attempt to settle the matter by conciliation with ETSA.

(4) If the Minister decides to consider an objection, the Minister must—

(a)

notify ETSA of the objection;

and

(b)

determine the objection or refer it to a consultative committee.

(5) ETSA must not, after receiving notice of an objection, carry out the clearance of vegetation to which the objection relates pending determination of the objection.

(6) The Minister may, from time to time, establish consultative committees each consisting of at least three persons, of whom—

(a)

one (the presiding officer) is a nominee of the Minister for the Environment and Natural Resources;

(b)

the others are nominees of the Local Government Association of S.A., South Australian Farmers Federation Incorporated, the Country Fire Services, the Conservation Council of South Australia Incorporated or any other interested body, as the Minister considers appropriate.

(7) A consultative committee may investigate any objection referred to it and conduct its business as it considers appropriate, but it must give the objector and ETSA a reasonable opportunity to be heard on the matter.

(8) A consultative committee must, within 30 days after an objection is referred to it or such further time as the Minister allows, report back to the Minister and make such recommendations as it considers appropriate on the clearance to which the objection relates and, if the Minister has so requested, on any other related matter including the alteration of the supply line in question.

(9) The Minister may, after considering an objection and, if the objection was referred to a consultative committee, the report and any recommendations of the committee—

(a)

dismiss the objection;

or

(b)

direct ETSA to take or to refrain from taking any specified action in relation to the matter.

(10) The Minister must, as soon as practicable, notify the occupier or owner (as the case may require) of the results of the Minister’s consideration of the objection.

Application of Division

9. This Division applies in relation to public land in a non-bushfire risk area.

ETSA’s duty

10. ETSA must inspect and clear vegetation of all kinds from around public supply lines in each area in accordance with a vegetation clearance scheme for that area agreed with the council for the area, or approved by an arbitrator, under this Division.

Purposes of vegetation clearance schemes

11. (1) ETSA must submit to each council detailed proposals intended to constitute a vegetation clearance scheme for the area of that council.

(2) A vegetation clearance scheme must be designed to ensure that vegetation is cleared from around every public supply line in the area so that—

(a)

no part of the vegetation at any time intrudes into the clearance zone around the supply line in still air;

and

(b)

no part of the vegetation is at any time likely to bend into the clearance zone in winds that might reasonably be expected in the area.

(3) Without limiting the effect of subregulation (2), the factors that must be taken into consideration in formulating a vegetation clearance scheme include the following:

(a)

the extent and frequency of past vegetation clearance in the area;

(b)

the nature of the vegetation, including its expected rate of growth;

(c)

the historical significance (if any) of the vegetation;

(d)

the long term effect that the clearance work would be likely to have on the health and appearance of the vegetation;

(e)

the impact that the clearance work would be likely to have on the amenity of the area;

(f)

the controls on the planting and nurturing of vegetation applicable in the area;

(g)

the limits on the financial and other resources of ETSA that may be devoted to the scheme and those for the areas of other councils;

(h)

any plans, or agreement between ETSA and the council, as to altering or removing supply lines in the area;

(i) any agreement between ETSA and the council as to the council undertaking inspections and clearance on behalf of ETSA or sharing the costs involved.

(4) The council may either agree to the proposed scheme in the form in which it was proposed or enter into negotiations with ETSA with a view to achieving agreement on a modified scheme.

(5) If agreement is not reached within four months after the proposed scheme was submitted to the council, the Minister must, at the request of ETSA or the council, appoint an arbitrator to resolve any disputed issues.

(5a) The Minister must invite ETSA and the council to jointly nominate a person to be appointed as arbitrator and, if such a nomination is made by ETSA and the council within 30 days after being invited to do so or such further time as the Minister allows, the Minister is bound by the nomination.

(6) The arbitrator—

(a)

must allow ETSA and the council a reasonable opportunity to be heard in relation to the proposed scheme;

and

(b)

may allow other interested persons an opportunity to be heard.

(7) The arbitrator must, within 30 days or such further time as the Minister may allow, make a determination approving the proposed scheme either with or without modifications.

Variation or replacement of scheme

12. (1) A vegetation clearance scheme for an area as agreed, or approved by an arbitrator, under this Division remains in force until varied or replaced by a new scheme under this regulation.

(2) Either ETSA or the council may submit to the other detailed proposals for varying the scheme or for a new scheme.

(3) ETSA and the council may either agree to the proposals or enter into negotiations with a view to achieving agreement on modified proposals.

(4) If agreement is not reached within four months after submission of the proposals under subregulation (2), the Minister must, at the request of ETSA or the council, appoint an arbitrator to resolve any disputed issues.

(4a) The Minister must invite ETSA and the council to jointly nominate a person to be appointed as arbitrator and, if such a nomination is made by ETSA and the council within 30 days after being invited to do so or such further time as the Minister allows, the Minister is bound by the nomination.

(5) The arbitrator—

(a)

must allow ETSA and the council a reasonable opportunity to be heard in relation to the proposals;

and

(b)

may allow other interested persons a reasonable opportunity to be heard.

(6) The arbitrator must, within 30 days or such further time as the Minister may allow, make a determination approving the proposals either with or without modification.

Contractual effect of scheme

13. A vegetation clearance scheme for an area as agreed, or approved by an arbitrator, under this Division has effect, and may be enforced, as a contract between ETSA and the council for the area.

ETSA’s duty until scheme in force

14. (1) Until a vegetation clearance scheme comes into force for an area under this Division, ETSA must, subject to subregulation (2) and in consultation with the council for the area, continue to inspect and clear vegetation of all kinds from around public supply lines in the area in accordance with its established practices in the area.

(2) If the Minister is of the opinion that any of ETSA’s established practices with regard to the clearance of vegetation are inappropriate, the Minister may direct a modification of those practices and ETSA’s duty under this clause is then modified accordingly.

PART IV

OCCUPIER’S DUTY TO CLEAR VEGETATION

Occupier’s duty to clear vegetation

15. (1) Subject to this regulation, an occupier of private land must keep vegetation (other than naturally occurring vegetation) clear of any private overhead supply line on that land so that—
