Draft:Victorian Environmental Assessment Council

Victorian government advisory body From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Victorian Environmental Assessment Council (VEAC) was established under the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council Act 2001 [1]. This act was repealed in 2026. VEAC replaced the Environment Conservation Council (ECC), which in turn replaced the Land Conservation Council (LCC) which operated from 1971-1997 [2].

The purpose of VEAC was to "conduct investigations and assessments, provide advice and make recommendations relating to the protection and ecologically sustainable management of the environment and natural resources of public land" (Victorian Environmental Assessment Council Act 2001).

A history of the ECC and LCC by Dr Danielle Clode was published in 2006[3].
