The South Australian Government is progressing new legislation to protect and conserve biodiversity. The Department for Environment and Water recently engaged with the South Australian public regarding the draft Biodiversity Bill. We thank all individuals and organisations who participated in the consultation for their feedback. Feedback received during the public consultation period has been reviewed and summarised in a consultation report. This final draft Bill was introduced to Parliament on Wednesday, 14 May 2025. The Bill will now be debated and, if passed by both houses of Parliament, it will go through an official process to become the ‘Biodiversity Act’ and become law. You can find out more about the progress of the Biodiversity Bill by visiting the South Australian Government legislation website.
