Welcome to the Office of the Appeals Convenor

The Appeals Convenor investigates and provides advice to the Minister for Environment in respect to appeals made under the Environmental Protection Act 1986. This includes appeals on a large range of environmental decisions, including environmental impact assessment, permits for clearing native vegetation and conditions applying to certain industrial and commercial premises. For information on the different types of appeal available under the Act, click here.

The Office of the Appeals Convenor aims to manage the appeals process efficiently, effectively and fairly, without legal technicality or formality.

Note that from 1 January 2005, appeals under water legislation (such as the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914) are determined by the State Administrative Tribunal.
