Environmental Protection Act 1994

A condition imposed on an environmental authority or draft environmental authority may—

be a standard condition for the authority or the relevant activity; or

require the holder of the authority to give the administering authority a written notice (a statement of compliance) about a document or work relating to a relevant activity; or

require or otherwise relate to an environmental offset (an environmental offset condition); or

for an authority or draft authority for an environmentally relevant activity carried out on land in the Great Barrier Reef catchment—be a Great Barrier Reef water quality offset condition; or

relate to access to land on which the relevant activity for the authority is being carried out; or

relate to rehabilitating or remediating environmental harm because of a relevant activity, other than a relevant activity to which a PRCP schedule applies; or

relate to action taken to prevent environmental harm because of a relevant activity; or

relate to the exercise of underground water rights.

Subsection (1) does not limit the conditions that may be imposed on an authority.

A condition imposed on an authority may state that the condition continues to apply after the authority has ended or ceased to have effect.

Also, a condition imposed on an authority may restrict, or impose requirements on, the carrying out of the relevant activity.
