Environmental Protection Act 1994

Subsection (2) applies if the administering authority—

decides to refuse an application; or

decides to impose a condition on an environmental authority and the applicant has not agreed in writing to the condition or a condition to the same effect.

The authority must give the applicant an information notice about the decision.

The information notice must be given—

for a decision mentioned in subsection (1)(a)—within 10 business days after the decision is made; or

for a decision mentioned in subsection (1)(b)—when the environmental authority is issued to the applicant.

If the administering authority decides to approve an application, it must, within 10 business days after the decision is made, give any submitter for the application an information notice about the decision.

This section does not apply for a decision about an application for a mining activity relating to a mining lease.
