45 THE ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION (EPBC) ACT
1999

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999 obliges
telecommunications carriers to consider 'matters of national environmental significance’.
Under this legislation, an action will require approval from the Minister of Environment if the
action has or is likely to have an impact on a matter of ‘national environmental
significance’.

According to the EPBC Act 1999, there are matters of national significance, which must be
considered. These matters do not apply to the proposed telecommunications facility.
Table 4.1 provides a summary of these issues and outlines compliance with the EPBC Act.
