Senate Standing Committee on Environment, Communications and the Arts

Standing order 25 provides for the appointment of a legislative and general purpose standing committee on Environment, Communications and the Arts.

Information on the establishment, role and powers of Senate committees can be found in Chapter 5, in the Standing Orders of the Senate.

The committee has had the following name changes in recent Parliaments:

• 1994-98 — Environment, Recreation, Communications and the Arts
• 1998-2008 — Environment, Communications, Information Technology and the Arts
• 2008 — Environment, Communications and the Arts

The Environment, Communications and the Arts portfolio coverage includes Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts and Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy.

Prior to 11 September 2006 the Senate legislative and general purpose standing committees comprised eight pairs of legislation and references committees. From 11 September the pairs of legislation and references committees ceased to exist, with each pair being combined into a single legislative and general purpose standing committee.
