Under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), or other national environmental legislation as may apply at the time an activity is proposed, any person proposing to undertake actions which may have a significant impact on any listed threatened species or ecological community should refer the action to the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment. The Minister will determine whether the action requires EPBC Act assessment and approval. Further advice on the EPBC Act is available from the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPaC).
Actions within habitat critical that could result in any of the following may result in a significant impact on threatened species and ecological communities of the Fitzgerald Biosphere:
-
Removal or disturbance of native vegetation that is used by a threatened species or that form a corridor between areas of habitat;
-
Spread of Phytophthora cinnamomi into areas of native vegetation;
-
Introduction of fire into habitat used by threatened species;
-
Introduction of novel weed species to the Biosphere;
-
Introduction or increase of introduced animals to the Biosphere;
-
Introduction of a chemical into habitat used by threatened species that may affect the species;
-
Altered hydrology or salinity;
-
Disturbance of native vegetation within 1 km of a threatened ecological community;
-
Removal or disturbance of nesting trees for the Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo.
