The Australian Parliament has passed the Environment Protection Reform Bills. This occurred on Friday 28 November.
The Bills now go to the Governor-General for Royal Assent. After that, they become law. Some parts of the new laws will take effect immediately. Others will be phased in to allow further consultation.
The new laws will deliver:
- stronger environmental protection and restoration
- more efficient and robust project assessments
- greater accountability and transparency in decision making.
The new laws were shaped through years of community consultation. The Government will continue to work with stakeholders to ensure a seamless rollout. This will include:
- transitional arrangements
- implementation details.
