Description
The Australian Government has committed to protect 30% of Australia’s land and seas by 2030, create a nature repair market, establish an independent Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and work in partnership with First Nations people, including to develop standalone cultural heritage legislation.
The Australian Government is reforming the nation's national environmental law – the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
This response to Professor Graeme Samuel’s 2021 review, the Australian government identifies the priorities that will guide their reform agenda and sets out 3 essential principles:
- delivering better environmental protection and laws that are nature positive
- speeding up decisions and making it easier for companies to do the right thing
- restoring integrity and trust to systems and environmental laws.
