The Environmental Defenders Office (NT) Inc (EDONT) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission on the Environment Protection Bill 2019 (Bill). In our experience, the protections currently offered by the Territory’s environmental laws are highly inadequate. This is most acutely revealed by the failures of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) framework in the Environmental Assessment Act (EA Act).
