The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) does not define what it means by the word significant, however its meaning is crucial to determining whether or not Commonwealth assessment and approval is required.
Under the Significant Impact Guidelines, factors to consider in determining significance include:
The current Guidelines provide the information necessary to determine whether an activity (action) may have a significant impact on a matter of national environmental importance and thereby trigger Commonwealth responsibility. Significant impacts can include indirect and cumulative impacts.
We embrace diversity and welcome all people, irrespective of culture, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
