Environmental Protection Act 1994

From the commencement—

the environmental authority has effect as if it were a registration certificate for the activity; and

the environmental authority has effect as if the holder of the authority were the registered operator for the activity; and

the environmental authority has effect as if it were—

if the activity would, after the commencement, be a mobile and temporary activity—a development approval for a material change of use under the repealed Integrated Planning Act 1997, schedule 8, part 1, table 5, item 3; or

in any other case—a development approval for a material change of use under the repealed Integrated Planning Act 1997, schedule 8, part 1, table 2, item 1; and

any condition of the environmental authority has effect as if it were a development condition of the development approval.

The conditions of the environmental authority are taken to include any condition that the administering authority is, under section 73B(2), required to impose under a regulatory requirement had it been deciding a development application for the chapter 4 activity at the commencement.

This section stops applying if the environmental authority ends under section 616ZB.
