NSW Plan for Nature
In July 2024, the NSW Government released the NSW Plan for Nature as a response to the independent statutory review of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and the review of the native vegetation provisions of the Local Land Services Act 2013. The plan aims to protect, restore and improve biodiversity in NSW. Actions will contribute to nature positive aims established at the national and international levels.
The plan is the Government’s first step in responding to the findings of the statutory reviews.
What does ‘nature positive’ mean?
Under the plan, nature positive means the environment is being repaired and regenerated. This contrasts with previous sustainability approaches, which have sought to minimise negative impacts by slowing or stabilising the rate of biodiversity loss.
