Read the Interim Report

The Interim Report sets out Professor Samuel’s preliminary views on the EPBC Act and how it operates. This Interim Report is not an exposition of the all problems with the EPBC Act. Rather, it focuses on the fundamental problems of the legislation and proposes key reform directions needed to address these.

The Review would like to hear the views of stakeholders on the Interim Report and the key reform directions proposed. What has been missed? How could the proposed reform directions be improved? Are there fundamental shortcomings that would require a rethink? Your feedback will help Professor Samuel refine his views ahead of finalising the Review and recommendations, due to be provided to the Government by the end of October.

All interested parties are invited to read the Interim Report and provide feedback.
