The federal government has rewritten Australia’s environment laws, as part of their commitment to 'no new extinctions'.

These Bills were rushed through in the last sitting week of Parliament in 2025, despite a public inquiry into the reforms still running. 

The public inquiry is open and invites submissions, giving individuals and organisations the opportunity to share their views.

Having your say is one of the most powerful ways to show decision-makers that Western Australians want strong laws that actually protect nature.

Even though the Bills have now been passed, we encourage you to make a submission as soon as you can to ensure your views and perspectives are on the public record.

The inquiry Committee will still make recommendations to Parliament and this will be really useful for advocating for nature in the future.

Submissions close Friday 5 December.
