Environmental Protection Act 1994

The administering authority must, within 5 business days after deciding a suspension application—

if the decision is to approve the suspension or extension of suspension of the environmental authority—

record the decision in the appropriate register, including when the suspension or extension of suspension starts and ends; and

give the holder of the environmental authority written notice of the decision; or

if the decision is to refuse the suspension or extension of suspension—give the holder an information notice about the decision.

The notice given under subsection (1)(a)(ii) must include a statement about the continued application of provisions under section 278B in relation to the suspended authority.

The environmental authority is suspended for the period stated in the decision notice, unless the holder of the environmental authority terminates the suspension before the end of the period of suspension or extension of suspension.
