1 How do we use the law to protect koalas? Revel Pointon, Solicitor, LAWJAM 16 Photo:
2 Outline Commonwealth laws and tools Changes proposed to EPBC Act Queensland laws and tools Summary of tools to protect koalas
3 Separate Cth and State approvals A project or action that impacts on koalas might need both Cth & State approvals State system riddled with exemptions and exceptions Cth no automatic free ride for particular types of actions
4 History of Cth koala protection 2 May 2012 listed as vulnerable threatened species under Cth EPBC Act (only Qld, NSW, ACT) Means: If project likely to have a significant impact then proponent must refer to the Cth Minister for EPBC Act assessment But koala impact could be ignored if the referral was lodged with the Cth before that listing took effect Dec 2014 referral guidelines for when there might be a significant impact on koalas were finalised
5 Could the proposed impact: Adversely affect habitat critical to the survival of the koala AND/OR Interfere substantially with the recovery of the koala through the introduction or exacerbation of key threats in areas of habitat critical to the survival of the koala
6
7 Offsets - Cth Through development assessment process, if significant impacts on the environment may not be avoided or mitigated then environmental offsets may be imposed to compensate for the residual adverse impacts of an action on the environment. EPBC Act Environmental Offsets Policy
8 Cth tools you can use to protect koalas 1. EPBC Referral suggest to Minister that referral required 2. Public consultation on: a) Whether controlled action (ie. needs EPBC assessment)? - compulsory b) Draft assessment guidelines (EIS, PER) not compulsory c) Draft EIS or PER - compulsory
9
10 Acland Example Shows Cth law is biased against koalas 2012 The Oakey Coal Action Group brought to our attention there were koalas around Acland where Stage 3 mine proposed But referral for mine expansion from 2007/3423 lodged before Cth listing of koalas - so koalas not addressed in Cth assessment Similar problem for Moreton Bay Rail link 2010/5589 no approval needed
11
12 Proposal to restrict community judicial review rights Legal standing under EPBC Act Judicial Review s487 extends standing for the purposes of judicial review of administrative decisions: at any time in the 2 years immediately before the decision, failure or conduct, the individual has engaged in a series of activities in Australia or an external Territory for protection or conservation of, or research into, the environment Brought in under PM Howard and Senator Robert Hill in 2000
13
14
15 Consequences if passed Many groups would miss out on legal standing, so there would be even less scrutiny via the Court system than there is now Other groups would pass the person aggrieved test but there would be increased time and delay in Court investigating standing
16 Now open for public comment: Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Standing) Bill 2015 A Bill for an Act to amend the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, and for related purposes Submissions due: Friday, 11 September Template on EDO Qld website

19 Current protection - Qld Nature Conservation Act 1992 vulnerable in Qld all koalas are protected in Qld SEQ Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions (SPRP) *to move to regulations in planning reform Single State Planning Policy (SPP) SDAP Local planning schemes Queensland Environmental Offsets Framework Significant Residual Impact Guideline
20 State Planning Regulatory Provisions (Qld) Prevails over all other planning instruments (s19 & 324 Sustainable Planning Act) Regulation depends on type of development (applies to code and impact assessable development) and type of mapped koala habitat Highest protection to priority koala assessable development areas Material change of use is prohibited in these areas if it is for urban activity and is in an area specified in the local plan as open space, conservation, rural or rural residential. Allows for offsets in certain circumstances
21
22 State Planning Policy Requires planning schemes to integrate matters of state environmental significance by facilitating a net gain in koala bushland habitat in SEQ Includes the Integrated Development Assessment Requirements that apply to development applications e.g. any environmental offset must be consistent with the Environmental Offsets Act 2014
23 Offsets - Qld Delivered through the Qld Environmental Offsets Framework: Environmental Offsets Act 2014 Environmental Offsets Regulation 2014 Queensland Environmental Offsets Policy Significant Residual Impact Guideline (Dec 2014) Regulated by the South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions State Government Supported Community Infrastructure Koala Conservation Policy
24 Qld tools to protect koalas Nature Conservation Act 1.
