Heritage Act 2018

The general provisions of the Heritage Act 2018 in relation to the introduction of a two year pilot period whereby roadside hedges may be cut during August will not be in force in 2018.

Any such cutting will require the making of Regulations by the Minister in the first instance. These Regulations cannot be made this year.

The existing provisions in the Wildlife Acts on hedge cutting remain in force.
