Summary
The Environment Conservation Council was established under the Environment Conservation Council Act 1997. This Act abolished the Land Conservation Council. On 1 January 2002 the Council was replaced by the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council. From their Web site, January 2002: "The Environment Conservation Council (ECC) advises the Victorian Government on the use of public land; it makes recommendations not decisions. It investigates issues at the request of the Minister, and in doing so, takes into account resource use and social issues as well as environmental needs."
