Temporary pause on invoicing and payments

As we transition to the new National Environmental Protection Agency (National EPA) on 1 July 2026, and to support end‑of‑financial‑year processes, there will be a temporary pause on invoicing and payment activity from:

 

4:00 pm Friday 26 June to 9:00 am Monday 6 July 2026

 

During this period:

  • You will not be able to make payments for EPBC projects.

  • The department will not issue invoices.

  • You may continue to submit referral applications; however:

    • invoices will not be issued until after 9:00 am Monday 6 July 2026

    • required publications will only occur once payment has been received

  • The department will continue assessing applications and progressing projects during this time.

     

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing to work with you under the National EPA.

The Minister invites public comment for each referral regarding whether the proposed action is a controlled action. Under section 74(3) of the EPBC Act, proposed actions are open for comment for 10 business days. Guidance on how to make a public comment is available at Public comments and decisions on actions referred under the EPBC Act - National EPA.

The EPBC Public Portal is best viewed through a desktop, laptop or tablet.  If you wish to make a comment using a mobile device go to Open for Comments.
