The Conservation Council SA submission focuses on responding to the Review's question, "Do existing Australian Government environmental laws adequately protect native vegetation from development allowing the state government to remove or reduce the scope of its own controls?". It recommends that the Productivity Commission:
- Not recommend that SA's already weak environmental protections be further reduced; and
- Investigate how the red tape that prevents the community from protecting environmental assets in the public social, economic and environmenal interest can be removed.
