The EPA acknowledges the repealed Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2021 and has adjusted its Environmental Factor Guideline - Social Surroundings and related Technical Guidance to reflect the role of the amended and restored Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.
The Technical Guidance provides additional information on procedures and the EPA’s environmental impact assessment process for Social Surroundings under the Environmental Protection Act 1986. This has been updated to support the latest changes made to the EFG and to ensure alignment with the restored AH Act 1972.
