EDO ACT provided this joint submission, along with the Conservation Council – ACT Region on the Nature Conservation Bill 2013.
In short we broadly support the provisions within the Consultation Draft Bill and welcome the modernising of 34 year old legislation. We also welcome the alignment of it with national legislation – the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. This document details the major concerns we have for what is not included in the Bill.
With support from people like you, we can run more groundbreaking cases and deliver expert legal advice to people all over the Australia-Pacific region.
