Minister for the Environment and Water

The Albanese Labor Government is today announcing $80 million for two new programs to improve the quality of water flowing onto the Great Barrier Reef.

The dedication of the Central Western Desert Indigenous Protected Area has this week been marked – meaning better land management and jobs for locals.

The Albanese Government has now approved enough new renewable energy to power the equivalent of nearly every single household in Australia.

The Albanese Labor Government is better protecting Australia’s precious places with $5.3 million to restore rare, exceptional and outstanding heritage sites.

Construction is underway on two major infrastructure projects that will help to boost environmental outcomes for critical waterways in Southern NSW while minimising impacts to private landholders.
