Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

This section explains how this Act operates in relation to an action that a person was able to take without approval under Part 9 for the purposes of a provision of Part 3 because of Division 1 of Part 4 and a provision of a bilateral agreement immediately before the cancellation or suspension of the operation of the provision of the agreement for the purposes of this Act or of any provision of Part 3.

If the action was able to be taken without approval under Part 9 because its taking had already been approved in accordance with a management or authorisation framework that is accredited for the purposes of the agreement, this Act continues to operate in relation to the action as if the suspension or cancellation had not occurred.
