Environmental Protection Act 1994

The administering authority must, within 10 business days after the proposed action decision is made, give the environmental authority holder an information notice about the decision.

If the proposed action decision relates to an environmental authority for resource activities, the administering authority must also give written notice of the decision to the chief executive administering the resource legislation.

The decision takes effect on the later of the following—

the day the notice is given to the holder;

a later day of effect stated in the notice.

However, if the decision was to cancel, suspend or extend the suspension of the environmental authority because of the conviction of the holder for an offence, the cancellation, suspension or extended period of suspension—

does not take effect until—

the period to appeal against the conviction ends; and

if the appeal is made against the conviction—the appeal is finally decided or is otherwise ended; and

has no effect if the conviction is quashed on appeal.
