The validity of the Act was considered by the High Court of Australia in Commonwealth v Tasmania, also known as the Tasmanian Dams case. That case found several provisions of the Act to be invalid, but most of its major provisions were held to be valid.
The Act was repealed in 1999, and replaced by parts of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
