Australia initiated a Review of its National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) in 2004. Feedback from stakeholders and the public are being considered for the NPI National Environmental Protection Measure (NEPM) variation, or revision, of the Inventory. The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed that the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) would not be used as a vehicle for reporting greenhouse gas emissions and that no further work be undertaken by the Environment Protection and Heritage Council on incorporating greenhouse gas emission reporting in the NPI pending finalization of the above report. The website contains information about the public consultation held in 2006, the NPI NEPM variation and the NPI review set to conclude in early 2007.
