Prioritise and fully fund the EPA to conduct assessments and produce strategic advice in response to development pressures across WA’s bioregions. This could include:
- identifying areas where Strategic Advice will advance biodiversity conservation, such as areas where significant natural values are under threat from multiple cumulative impacts;
- requiring Ministerial responses to Strategic Advice to be made public before decision making proceeds; and
- requiring the Minister to consider Strategic Advice in the assessment of proposals and provide detailed reasons for regarding or disregarding advice
