Environmental Protection Act 1994

This section applies if the chief executive decides, under section 56A, to refuse to allow the EIS to proceed.

The proponent may resubmit, with changes, the submitted EIS and the proponent’s response to the submission mentioned in section 56A(1) to the chief executive within—

20 business days after notice of the decision is given to the proponent under section 56A(5); or

if the chief executive and the proponent have, within the 20 business days, agreed to a different period—the different period.

The proponent may resubmit under subsection (2) only once.

A resubmitted EIS must be accompanied by the fee prescribed by regulation.

Section 56A applies to the resubmitted EIS and response to submission as if a reference in the provision to a submitted EIS or the proponent’s response to the submission were a reference to the resubmitted EIS or proponent’s response to the submission.
