Planning Act 2023

The territory planning authority may publicly notify a revised EIS as if it were a draft EIS under section 114 if the authority is satisfied that—

the revised EIS is significantly different from the draft EIS; and

public notification of the revised EIS is justified because of the difference.

However, there is no minimum period during which representations may be made on a revised EIS.

Note Normally the public consultation period for a draft EIS cannot be less than 30 working days (see s 114 (a) (iii)), but this does not apply to a revised EIS.

If the territory planning authority publicly notifies a revised EIS, the following provisions apply to the revised EIS as if it were a draft EIS:

section 115 (Representations about draft EIS);

section 116 (Publication of representations about draft EIS);

section 117 (Entity consultation on draft EIS);

section 118 (Revision of draft EIS).
