Environmental Protection Act 1994

This section applies if—

an environmental authority (the existing authority) is subject to conditions identified in the authority as standard conditions (the existing standard conditions) for the activity or authority; and

after the existing authority is issued, the chief executive makes an ERA standard providing for standard conditions for the activity; and

the ERA standard states that the standard conditions apply to existing authorities that are subject to standard conditions for the activity; and

the new standard conditions are different to the existing standard conditions.

The administering authority may amend the existing authority to replace the existing standard conditions with the new standard conditions.

The administering authority must give written notice of the amendment to the environmental authority holder.

The amendment of the environmental authority does not take effect until 1 year after the administering authority gives the holder notice under subsection (3).
