An application for a tree felling licence for the person named, was received in February this year. A Harvest Plan has been submitted and the application is currently assigned to an Ecologist. The Appropriate Assessment Report is currently being compiled.

Once that is completed, the application will be opened for a public consultation period of 30 days. When that consultation closes, the application will be reviewed before final processing.

Subject to everyhting being in order, I expect a decision to issue in approximately two months.
