Licences

The Threatened Species Conservation Act, with some exceptions, prohibits actions that will affect threatened species and their habitats unless undertaken in accordance with an approval.

Approvals issued by OEH for threatened species are of 3 basic types:

• Licences for scientific, educational and conservation purposes.
• Licences to harm threatened species that are causing damage to property.
• Licences/certificates to for actions that are likely to harm, pick or damage the habitat of a threatened species, population or ecological community.
