In March 2024, the Department received allegations that Permagen Planting Pty Ltd conducted illegal land clearing affecting natural temperate grasslands of the south-eastern highlands—a threatened ecological community listed as a matter of national environmental significance—at Braeside, 469 Caddigat Road, Dry Plain NSW. Following a departmental inspection in March 2024 (conducted jointly with NSW environmental officers), DCCEEW determined that the matter fell within NSW Government jurisdiction and took no further compliance or enforcement action under the EPBC Act. The decision was contingent on advice from NSW authorities and applied only to areas assessed during the initial inspection. The letter advised the property owner that future activities would require assessment for EPBC approval requirements.
