High appeals volume impacts response times
Due to an unusually high number of appeals for EPA Report 1800, responses may take longer than usual as submissions are assessed following the close of the appeal period on 10 February 2026.
New strategic priorities
As part of our work to be effective and ensure our service delivery is focused and aligned with Government and community priorities, the Office of the Appeals Convenor has developed its strategic priorities from 2025 forward.
2025 in review
2025 was busy for OAC: 52 appeals lodged, 59 closed (35 carried over). 45% were allowed in part, mainly for works approvals or licences (40%) or native vegetation clearing permits (37%).
Appeals work on ground in regions
The Appeals Convenor has been busy in the State’s regions embracing the value of on-site visits.
