Environmental Protection Act 1994

This section applies if—

before the commencement, the administering authority imposed a condition on an environmental authority for a resource activity under the pre-amended Act, section 292; and

on the commencement, the environmental authority is in force.

On the day an ERC decision is, or is taken to have been, made for the environmental authority, the condition no longer has effect.

However, if—

the administering authority has given the holder of the environmental authority a notice under the pre-amended Act, section 296 about its decision in relation to the amount and form of financial assurance required under a condition of the environmental authority; and

the holder has not complied with the condition before the commencement;

Also, if—

the administering authority has given the holder of the environmental authority a notice about a proposed requirement to increase the amount of financial assurance under the pre-amended Act, section 306; and

the requirement has not taken effect before the commencement;

In addition, if section 760 applies for the financial assurance, the condition continues to have effect until—

the application mentioned in that section is decided; and

the amount of financial assurance under the decision has been given to the administering authority.

After the condition stops having effect for an environmental authority under this section, the administering authority may—

amend the environmental authority to remove the condition; and

issue the amended environmental authority to the holder.
