About NEPC

The National Environment Protection Council (NEPC) is established under the National Environment Protection Council Act 1994 (Cth) and mirror legislation in other jurisdictions.

NEPC has two primary functions as established by the NEPC Acts:

  1. to make National Environment Protection Measures (NEPMs)
  2. to assess and report on the implementation and effectiveness of NEPMs in participating jurisdictions.

NEPC is supported by the National Environment Protection Council Committee made up of the head of each jurisdictional environmental agency. The NEPC Business Services Team and the NEPC Executive Officer provide assistance and operational support to NEPC and the NEPC Committee.
