Environmental Protection Act 1994

This section applies if—

the environmental authority the subject of the surrender application—

is for a prescribed resource activity; and

relates to land in an overlapping area; and

another prescribed resource activity (the overlapping prescribed resource activity) is being, or is proposed to be, carried out in the overlapping area.

In deciding the surrender application, the administering authority must also consider—

the extent to which compliance with a rehabilitation condition of the environmental authority, or a PRCP schedule, is impossible or impractical due to the carrying out of the overlapping prescribed resource activity; and

whether an environmental authority or PRCP schedule for the overlapping prescribed resource activity has been amended to include a condition equivalent to the rehabilitation condition of the environmental authority to be surrendered.
