About this draft policy statement

The northern quoll is listed as an endangered species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Endangered species are a matter of national environmental significance.

This policy statement is intended to provide guidance to proponents on the need to refer an action to which the EPBC Act applies.

This policy statement should be read in conjunction with Significant impact guidelines 1.1 - matters of national environmental significance.

There may be other EPBC Act policy statements which provide further guidance.
