Australia's EPBC Act: A Mixed Bag for Nature
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
Australias environmental protection law undergoes significant amendments, aiming to improve both environmental protection and business operations. The new laws introduce a national Environment Protection Agency with enhanced powers and stricter penalties, and establish minimum national environmental standards for development applications. However, concerns remain about the reliance on offsets and the fast-tracking of non-fossil fuel developments, while the climate crisis remains largely overlooked.
