This felling licence application was received on the 12th February 2025. It is currently going through my Department's forestry licensing process.

Registered foresters can see the progress of the application on my Department's Licence Tracker through the iNET facility and applicants can access it through their Agfood account. If an applicant does not have an account for Agfood, they can register here: . Once registration is completed a Personal Access Code will be issued by post.

My Department’s processing goals, as agreed in the Farmer's Charter, are six months for screened-out applications and nine months for screened-in applications. However, where possible we strive to process licences sooner than that, subject to the statutory public consultation(s) time periods.
