The Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) is not a delivery plan. Landowners of the areas mapped are not obliged to deliver the opportunities identified. It does not prevent land use change. The habitat map is not definitive, it is based on the best available data at the time and may therefore not always accurately reflect what is on the ground. Before undertaking a Potential Measure, permission from the landowner must be granted, the necessary surveys/assessments must be undertaken, and appropriate consents and approvals obtained from relevant authorities.
