What is the Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR)?
EBR is the Environmental Bill of Rights. It has been formulated on the principle that every citizen has the right to participate in decisions which affect the environment. It is intended to open the governments environmental decision-making process to public scrutiny to a far greater extent than in the past. Clients will be provided with a uniform and predictable process for obtaining environmental approvals. EBR provisions will allow the public access to information to facilitate their participation in environmental decision-making.
