"This essay on the National Environment Protection Council (Western Australia) Act 1996 is based on an original Consultancy Report undertaken by the Murdoch University Environmental Policy and Law Centre, for the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia Standing Committee on Uniform Legislation and Intergovernmental Agreements. The original Report encompassed a review of the National Environment Protection Council (Western Australia) Bill 1996. Since the Report's submission, the Bill has become operative, being proclaimed on the 16 November 1996. The Report was commissioned to address the Committee on a number of issues of concern including the nature of, and the State's compliance with the Intergovernmental Agreement on the Environment (IGAE) and the implications for parliamentary scrutiny, now and in the future, of signing the IGAE and enacting the National Environment Protection Council (Western Australia) Act 1996." |
