Environment Protection Act 1997

If the authority proposes to grant an environmental authorisation subject to a condition requiring the provision of a financial assurance, the authority must give the applicant written notice of its intention to impose the condition.

A notice under subsection (1) must—

specify the grounds on which the condition is proposed to be imposed; and

specify the amount and form of the financial assurance proposed to be required; and

invite the applicant to show cause why the condition should not be imposed; and

specify the date, not earlier than 20 working days after the date of the notice, on or before which any representations under paragraph (c) are to be made.

Within 20 working days after the end of the period allowed under subsection (2) (d) for representations, the authority must—

notify the applicant that the condition is or is not being imposed; and

if it is being imposed—specify in the notice the date, not earlier than 10 working days after the date of the notice, on or before which the financial assurance must be provided.
