Australian and New Zealand Environment Conservation Council
The Australian and New Zealand Environment Conservation Council (ANZECC) was a Ministerial Council operating between 1991 and 2001. ANZECC provided a forum for member governments to develop coordinated policies about national and international environment and conservation issues.
ANZECC was replaced in 2001:
- natural resource management matters were moved to the Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council (NRMMC)
- environment protection matters were moved to the Environment Protection and Heritage Council (EPHC)
