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.

Trust’s duty

6. (1) The Trust 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.

(2) The Trust must, in order to meet its obligations for the period of four years from the commencement of these regulations, establish a programme of clearance, having regard to—

(a)

the degree of risk of fire in the area;

(b)

any plans of the Trust to introduce aerial bundled cable or to otherwise alter supply lines in the area;

(c)

the period that has elapsed since the Trust last carried out clearance operations in the area;

and

(d)

the resources available to the Trust.

(3) The Trust 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) The Trust 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,

the Trust 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) The Trust 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) The Trust 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 the Trust.

(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 the Trust, 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 the Trust and the occupier.

Objections relating to vegetation clearance

8. (1) An occupier or owner of land may lodge an objection with the Minister concerning any matter set out in a notice received from the Trust pursuant to section 39 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 the Trust.

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

(a)

notify the Trust of the objection;

and

(b)

determine the objection or refer it to a consultative committee.

(5) The Trust 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 Environment and Planning;

(b)

the others are nominees of the Local Government Association of S.A., United Farmers and Stockowners Association of S.A. Inc., 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 the Trust 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 the Trust 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.

(11) The Trust must, when it gives notice of an intention to enter land and carry out work pursuant to section 39 of the Act, also give notice to the occupier of the rights of the occupier and owner to lodge objections under this regulation.

(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;

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 the Trust and the council for the area.

Trust’s duty until scheme in force

14. (1) During the period from the commencement of these regulations to the date on which a vegetation clearance scheme comes into force for an area under this Division, the Trust 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 the Trust’s established practices with regard to the clearance of vegetation are inappropriate, the Minister may direct a modification of those practices and the Trust’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—
