epbc fact sheet 
I take my role as environment minister very seriously, and I work to ensure the highest standards of protection for our precious environment. Still, a lot of people think the federal environment minister is the last port of call on all environmental issues with power to intervene in any environmental matter in Australia, but the actual situation is quite different under the laws and Constitution of our Federation.

Our national environmental law is set out in the Australian Government’s key piece of environmental legislation, called the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

Under the EPBC Act, the Australian Government only has authority over certain defined matters of national and international importance, called matters of ‘national environmental significance’ (NES).

Matters of NES include listed threatened species and ecological communities, listed migratory species, wetlands of international importance, Commonwealth marine areas, World Heritage properties and National Heritage places. All other environmental matters are the sole responsibility of the states, territories and local governments, and are decided by these governments alone.
