The Policy Framework page provides further information on how the department and our stakeholders should apply our documents based on where they sit within the framework.
The following tables list our industry regulation, native vegetation regulation and water regulation policy, guideline, and procedure documents, according to their position in the hierarchy.
The department has also entered into agreements with other government agencies to support its regulatory functions. These agreements are not guidance material and are not part of the Policy Framework.
