The three codes, which cover managing invasive native species, thinning of native vegetation and clearing of isolated paddock trees, will be on public display.
Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner and Environment Minister Robyn Parker's announcement follows the release of the State government's biodiversity offsets policy last week, which will provide revenue streams to farmers who wish to manage parts of their property for environmental outcomes.
While the changes will be welcomed as a step in the right direction, farmers are still waiting for the government to provide a date for the review of the Native Vegetation Act, which many say will be the only way to fully solve the issues around clearing.
