Australian miners calling for reform of EPBC Act
A number of resources industry bodies have called for a reform of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act, as an independent review into the legislation continues.
“Reforms to the Act are long overdue, and numerous reviews over the past decade have repeatedly highlighted opportunities to improve regulatory efficiency by addressing unnecessary duplication and complexity while maintaining strong environmental protections,” Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) CEO Tania Constable said on Monday.
