The MineralsCouncil and amec_org have raised concerns around Australia's environmental reforms EPBC mining resources investment approval
PERTH – The federal government on Thursday announced the establishment of an independent Environment Protection Agency as part of its reforms of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.’s 2019 review of the EPBC Act, which found that the Act was outdated and required "fundamental reform".“Nature is being destroyed. Businesses are waiting too long for decisions. That’s bad for everyone. Things have to change,” the Minister said on Thursday.
The Minister said that legislation to amend the EPBC Act would be released as an exposure draft prior to being introduced to Parliament before the end of 2023. “Environmental approvals require assessing environmental, social and economic and national interest matters for which a Minister should be accountable.
“Providing conservation payments in environmental offsets, outcomes-based approval requirements and improved environmental data are all also welcome as are promises to streamline nuclear action approvals. “Our industry doesn’t oppose strong protections, and we are not advocating for less environmental or cultural heritage protections. What we want to see is greater efficiency in the assessment and approvals process, to reduces costs and delays for industry.”
