Briefing Note: Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Reconsideration of Decisions) Bill 2024

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Reconsideration of Decisions) Bill 2024 seeks to limit the ability of people to request the reconsideration of a controlled action decision (concerning whether a project needs assessment or not) under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth). EDO does not support the passage of the Bill, as it unnecessarily limits the opportunity for both public participation and environmental protection.
