Development application taken to be application for environmental authority in particular circumstances
115 Development application taken to be application for environmental authority in particular circumstances
This section applies if—
a development application is made for a development permit for a material change of use of premises under the Planning Act; and
the material change of use of premises—
is for a prescribed ERA; and
is categorised as assessable development under a regulation made under the Planning Act.
The development application is taken to also be an application for an environmental authority for the prescribed ERA.
However, parts 2, other than division 2, to 4 do not apply to the application for the environmental authority.
A properly made submission under the Planning Act about the development application is, to the extent it relates to the prescribed ERA, taken to be a properly made submission about the application for the environmental authority.
If the development application lapses or is changed or withdrawn under the Planning Act, the application for an environmental authority for the prescribed ERA is also taken to have lapsed or been changed or withdrawn.
