If you remove the requirements to develop recovery strategies and management plans, government response statements, and reviews of progress from legislation in addition to changing to a registration instead of approval process is going to cause activities to carry out with no real knowledge of the impact on species or habitat. With no advisory board, this will leave vulnerable species in a position where anyone can do anything once they have registered and claimed to follow the rules. There needs to be some sort of approval process in place still as well as somewhere that advises on realistic actions and outputs from the registered activities that are proposed to no longer have reviews of progress. This will speed things up at the cost of the lives and safety of various species and habitats. Where is the accountability?
