Approved NSW Recovery Plan Brush-tailed rock-wallaby The EPBC Act provides for the identification and declaration of critical habitat. It is an offence under the EPBC Act for a person to knowingly take an action that will significantly damage critical habitat, unless the Act specifically exempts the action. This offence only applies to Commonwealth areas. However, an action which is likely to have a significant impact on a listed species or community is still subject to referral and approval under the EPBC Act. 4
