Environmental Protection Act 1994

The administering authority may give to the person carrying out the chapter 4 activity—

if the activity was carried out at 1 location—a development approval for the location; or

if the activity was carried out at more than 1 location and is not a mobile and temporary environmentally relevant activity—a development approval for each location; or

if the activity is a mobile and temporary environmentally relevant activity—a development approval for a mobile and temporary environmentally relevant activity.

If the person carrying out the activity does not have a registration certificate for the activity, the administering authority may also give the person a registration certificate for the activity.

The development approval must contain the same details about the activity and conditions for carrying out the activity as were contained in the authority or included in it under section 616Z(2).

If the administering authority acts under subsection (1) or subsections (1) and (2), the administering authority must give the person carrying out the activity an information notice about the administering authority’s decision to give the approval or approval and certificate.

The approval or approval and certificate have effect and the environmental authority ends—

if there is no appeal against the administering authority’s decision under subsection (4)—from the day after the appeal period expires; or

if there is an appeal against the administering authority’s decision under subsection (4)—from the day after the appeal is finally decided or is otherwise ended.
