Abstract

This Regulation, consisting of 64 sections divided into eleven Chapters and completed by 19 Schedules, implements the Environmental Protection Act 1994. It regulates the environmental impact statements and the environmentally relevant activities classified on the base of the aggregate environmental scores worked out for the activities under the environmental emission profile. In addition, it aims at protecting environmental values, and meeting quality objectives, under relevant environmental protection policies and prescribes the regulatory requirements with which the administering authority is required to comply for making environmental management decisions, and defines the matters relating to environmental management and environmental offences. The Regulation also gives effect to, and enforce compliance with, the ‘National Environment Protection (National Pollutant Inventory) Measure 1998’ (the NPI NEPM) made under the National Environment Protection Council Act 1994 (Cwlth), section 14.
