The EDO supports a number of measures contained in the Review of the Environment Protection Act, 1997 Discussion Paper 2012. Rather than address all of the issues raised in the Terms of Reference, this submission addresses the immediate priorities. These primarily revolve around the implementation of the mechanisms employed by the Environment Protection Agency (the EPA) for protection of the environment, and compliance assessments and enforcement of the obligations created by the Act.
