The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) of Western Australia is dedicated to ensuring the protection of the state's unique and diverse environment through thorough assessments and strategic policy advice. Operating under the Environmental Protection Act of 1986, the EPA plays a crucial role in conducting Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) to evaluate proposals that could significantly influence the environment. Their services include guiding stakeholders through the assessment process, offering independent advice on environmental matters, and developing guidelines that promote sustainable practices in various sectors.

The EPA also focuses on cumulative impact assessments, enabling informed decision-making for developments while considering broader environmental implications. With an emphasis on transparent operations and community engagement, the EPA strives to enhance environmental outcomes and safeguard Western Australia's natural heritage for future generations. Additionally, the introduction of digital platforms like Environment Online facilitates streamlined application submissions, improving efficiency in managing environmental assessments.

Through these efforts, the EPA aims to foster a sustainable relationship between development and the environment
