The report describes the environment in terms of nine major themes (chapters): sustainability; atmosphere; land; inland waters and wetlands; the coastal zone; biodiversity; invasive plants and animals; human settlements; and natural and cultural heritage. Each chapter is made up of a series of issue papers. The report concludes with an assessment of the key legislation relevant to the Environmental Protection Agency in achieving environmental outcomes.
The report was compiled by experts from government, research agencies and universities. Each issue paper was prepared by a nominated author or authors and then reviewed by experts in the field. The production of the report was overseen by the Sustainability and Environmental Reporting Interdepartmental Committee (SER IDC). The EPA gratefully acknowledges the efforts of all authors, SER IDC members and reviewers, whose expertise and time have made this report possible.
A large volume of information, drawn from a wide range of sources, was collated, interpreted and used in this report. Sources are cited throughout the text. Published citations can be found in the reference lists at the end of each issue paper within a chapter. Much of the information in this report has been provided by a wide range of organisations and individuals, both government and private, and the EPA gratefully acknowledges the use of their data.
