A statement of environmental effects required by Schedule 1 to accompany a development application relating to a ski resort area must be prepared in accordance with guidelines issued under this clause if the proposed development is advertised development.

A person (the proposed applicant) intending to apply for consent to carry out development in a ski resort area that is advertised development must, before doing so, give to the Director-General written particulars of the location, nature and scale of the development.

The guidelines are to be issued within 28 days after the written particulars are given under subclause (2), or within such further time as is agreed between the Director-General and the proposed applicant.

Before issuing guidelines under this clause, the Director-General is—

to consult with the proposed applicant, and

to request in writing the Director-General of National Parks and Wildlife, and such government agencies as the Director-General considers have an interest in the proposed development application, to provide the Director-General of the Department of Planning with their requirements in relation to the statement of environmental effects.

In preparing the guidelines, the Director-General is to consider—

in particular, the response of the Director-General of National Parks and Wildlife, and

all responses from government agencies referred to in subclause (5)(b),

if those responses are made during the period of 14 days after the request under subclause (5) is made.
