Submission on suspending requirements in the National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity
We support the proposal to suspend cl 3.8, 3.9, 4.1 and 4.2 of the National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity (NPSIB). However, we are concerned that suspending these clauses alone will not solve major problems with the workability of the NPSIB on private land.
We stand by our previous commitment to the Biodiversity Collaborative Group (BCG), which undertook much of the background work on the 2019 Draft National Policy Statement on Indigenous Biodiversity (‘NPSIB 2019’). However, we consider the NSPIB 2022 has gone considerably beyond that work in many key places.
