For listing or changing the status of an ecological community under the EPBC Act
Department of the Environment and Water Resources, November 2007
The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) is the Australian Government's key piece of environmental legislation and promotes biodiversity conservation by providing strong protection for listed threatened species and ecological communities.
New nominations for species, ecological communities and key threatening processes will be considered by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) for inclusion in a Priority Assessment List.
Nominations on the Finalised Priority Assessment List will be considered by the Committee for their eligibility for listing, based on the requirements of the EPBC Act and Regulations.
