This environmental clearing permit template is free to use and makes completing and approving clearings easier for people - and safer for the environment.

An environmental clearing permit is a permit which must be filled out prior to the commencement of any clearing onsite, including trees, shrubs, vegetation, animals and other elements of the surrounding environment.

Site clearing and clearing permits are usually regulated by a nations government department. In Australia, it's the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) - who operate under the Environmental Protection Act.

Because of this, clearing native vegetation is an offence unless done under the right permit - which makes clearing permit critical to obeying the law and ensuring your projects stay legal and don't run into delays and headaches later on.
