Environmental Protection Act 1994

The administering authority may only impose a condition on an environmental authority, draft environmental authority, PRCP schedule or draft PRCP schedule if—

it considers the condition is necessary or desirable; and

if the authority is for an application to which section 115 applies—the condition relates to the carrying out of the relevant prescribed ERA.

Despite subsection (1), if this Act or a regulatory requirement requires the administering authority to impose a condition, the administering authority must impose the condition.

Subsection (1) only applies for a proposed condition for an environmental authority issued for a standard application if—

the application relates to a mining lease; and

a properly made submission was made for the application; and

the condition is not a standard condition for the relevant activity or authority.
