The Business Council of Australia submitted feedback to DCCEEW's Nature Positive Taskforce on 20 February 2024 regarding EPBC Act reform consultation. The BCA expressed concerns that the "lock up" consultation process—which restricted detailed stakeholder engagement to limited timeframes with controlled information access—prevented meaningful input from major companies and their environmental experts who regularly use the EPBC system. The BCA stated this constrained process would result in inferior proposed legislation and reiterated having "significant concerns with the current reform proposal," though the specific substantive objections are not detailed in this excerpt. The disclosure shows industry stakeholder engagement during the EPBC reform development phase but does not contain environmental data, specific project assessments, or regulatory decisions.
