The NFF’s 24 October 2011 submission responds to proposals by the Government to finalise an EPBC Act offsets policy, introduce EPBC Act cost recovery, develop a new Biodiversity policy and introduce the proposed National Centre for Cooperation on Environment and Development. The NFF broadly supports reform of the Government’s environmental legislation and policies – provided it delivers a better business case for farmers, reduces red tape and streamlines environmental legislation and regulation across jurisdictions.
