National Environment Protection Council Act 1994

The council may vary a national environment protection measure (a minor variation) if—

the variation is supported by a unanimous resolution of all of the members; and

the resolution states that the variation does not involve a significant change in the effect of the national environment protection measure.

If the council decides that a variation does not involve a significant change in the effect of the national environment protection measure, the council must prepare—

a draft of the proposed variation; and

a statement relating to the variation that explains—

the reasons for the proposed variation; and

the nature and effect of the proposed variation; and

the reasons why the council is satisfied that the variation is a minor variation.

A minor variation of a national environment protection measure is a notifiable instrument.
