Understanding EPBC Requirements for Landholders

Join the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA), State Veg Hub representatives, Local Council representatives and Healthy Land & Water, for an informative session designed to help producers better understand the current Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) framework and what it means for management decisions on your property. 
 

Hear directly from representatives involved in environmental regulation as they explain the EPBC process, key compliance considerations, and practical steps landholders can take to manage immediate regulatory risk. 
 

The workshop will also provide an overview of property mapping and assessment tools, including:

Identifying Matters of State Environmental Significance (MSES).

Using the Property Self Assessable Vegetation Clearing Codes and assessment tools.

Navigating the Property Matters Search Tool (PMST).

In addition, attendees will gain insight into how EPBC requirements interact with state and local government vegetation management regulations, helping landholders make informed decisions and plan with confidence.
