Referral of proposed action form

About the form
The purpose of a referral is to determine whether your proposed action will need formal assessment and approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
Your referral will be the principal basis for the Minister's decision as to whether approval is necessary and, if so, the type of assessment that will be taken.
You may still make a referral if you believe your action is not going to have a significant impact, or if you are unsure.
For further information call the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities Community Information Unit on 1800 803 772.
