About the project
The ACT Government is conducting a 10-year review of the Nature Conservation Act 2014 (the Act). The Act protects native plants, animals and landscapes in the ACT. It provides the legal underpinning for nature conservation policy, management actions and protection of our native species and natural places across the Territory.
As part of the review, we are seeking feedback from the public about whether the Act has achieved its objectives over the past decade, and whether the objectives are still relevant.
What we are looking at
A discussion paper has been prepared which identifies key issues and opportunities for improvement within the Act and includes questions for your consideration.
As part of the review, we are also reviewing the ACT Nature Conservation Strategy that falls under the Act. While the Act sets out the objectives for conservation in the ACT, the Strategy outlines practical steps to achieve them and ways to measure conservation success. Commentary on the Strategy is also addressed in the discussion paper.
How to have your say
How we will use your feedback
Your feedback will assist the ACT Government in the review of the Nature Conservation Act and the development of a new Nature Conservation Strategy for the ACT.
Does the discussion paper capture the key issues and opportunities for Nature Conservation?
