Other Matters Protected by the EPBC Act
This part of the report summarises other matters protected under the Act that may relate to the area you nominated.
Approval may be required for a proposed activity that significantly affects the environment on Commonwealth land,
when the action is outside the Commonwealth land, or the environment anywhere when the action is taken on
Commonwealth land. Approval may also be required for the Commonwealth or Commonwealth agencies proposing to
take an action that is likely to have a significant impact on the environment anywhere.

The EPBC Act protects the environment on Commonwealth land, the environment from the actions taken on
Commonwealth land, and the environment from actions taken by Commonwealth agencies. As heritage values of a
place are part of the 'environment', these aspects of the EPBC Act protect the Commonwealth Heritage values of a
Commonwealth Heritage place. Information on the new heritage laws can be found at
https://www.dcceew.gov.au/parks-heritage/heritage

A permit may be required for activities in or on a Commonwealth area that may affect a member of a listed threatened
species or ecological community, a member of a listed migratory species, whales and other cetaceans, or a member of
a listed marine species.
