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
http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/index.html
Please note that the current dataset on Commonwealth land is not complete. Further information on
Commonwealth land would need to be obtained from relevant sources including Commonwealth
agencies, local agencies, and land tenure maps.

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. Information on EPBC Act permit requirements
and application forms can be found at http://www.environment.gov.au/epbc/permits/index.html.
