Environmental Protection Act 1994

This section applies in relation to a mining EA applicant.

The pre-amended Act, chapter 5, parts 1 to 5, applies to the mining EA applicant’s site-specific application as if the amending Act had not commenced.

If an environmental authority is issued to the mining EA applicant for the application, the amended Act applies in relation to the environmental authority on and from the day the authority is issued.

However, section 431A does not apply in relation to the environmental authority until the earlier of the following days—

the day the applicant fails to comply with a notice given to the applicant under section 754;

the day a PRCP schedule for the environmental authority is approved.
