  • Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) - Level 2The Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999 (the EPBC Act) is the Australian Government's central piece of environmental legislation. The EPBC Act focuses on the Australian Government interests on the protection of matters of national environmental significance, with the state of NSW having responsibility for matters of state and local significance.
