The Inquiry commenced on 1 June 2015. The Ministerial Advisory Committee released a Discussion Paper and undertook extensive consultation with stakeholders and the community to inform the development of their final report and recommendations.
The Australian Environment Business Network (AEBN) undertook to provide Member comments in the form of a submission for the Inquiry.
The Inquiry concluded on 31 March 2016 when the Ministerial Advisory Committee delivered their report to the Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water.
