Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016

The Environment Protection Authority may bring proceedings in the Land and Environment Court for an order to remedy or restrain a breach of Part 5B of the Forestry Act 2012.

Any such proceedings may be brought whether or not proceedings have been instituted for a native vegetation offence under Part 5B of the Forestry Act 2012.

If the Court is satisfied that a breach has been committed or that a breach will, unless restrained by order of the Court, be committed, it may make such orders as it thinks fit to remedy or restrain the breach.

Without limiting the powers of the Court under this section, an order under this section may suspend an integrated forestry operations approval with respect to the forestry operations concerned in the breach.
