Pushing roads through remnant coastal forest is legal in NSW if undertaken on rural land, as here in Fame Cove. So is clearing for fence lines, gardens, dwellings, dams and stockyards. Landowners do not need a permit to do this, even in endangered ecological communities. If you think that's a problem, write to the Minister for the Environment, Phil Koperberg office[at]koperberg.minister.nsw.gov.au.
