Document background
The Environmental Risk Assessment Report is a critical document required under various Australian environmental protection frameworks, including the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and state-specific environmental legislation. This document is typically required when undertaking new projects, modifying existing operations, or as part of regular environmental management reviews. It provides a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and managing environmental risks while ensuring compliance with Australian regulatory requirements. The report includes detailed environmental baseline data, impact assessments, risk analyses, and mitigation strategies, serving as both a compliance document and a management tool. It is particularly important for projects that may affect matters of national environmental significance or require environmental approvals from state or federal authorities.
