Development Application part 2 Report and Plans MCU13/0053

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 and the heritage values of a
place on the Register of the National Estate. Information on the new heritage laws can be found at

For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from
recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened
ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location
data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.
