An approval decision brief for the Hattah Lakes North Floodplain Restoration Project (EPBC 2020/8632) in Victoria, signed by the Branch Head on 22 February 2024. The project was assessed under two controlling provisions of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act: listed threatened species and communities (sections 18 and 18A), and wetlands of international importance (sections 16 and 17B). Both provisions received approval recommendations with conditions. The department concluded the action was unlikely to have unacceptable impacts on listed threatened species and communities if undertaken according to the proposed conditions. Minor updates were requested by Victoria and the Murray Darling Basin Authority regarding legislative references, while the proponent's comments focused on governance and legislative complexity rather than environmental outcomes.
