Environmental Protection Act 1994

This section applies if, on or after the commencement of a provision of this part (the relevant provision)—

a mining EA holder for an environmental authority stops being the holder of the environmental authority; and

another person (the transferee) becomes the holder of the environmental authority.

From the day the transferee becomes the holder of the environmental authority (the transfer day), a reference in the relevant provision to the mining EA holder is taken to include a reference to the transferee.

If, before the transfer day, the administering authority gave a notice under section 754(1) to the mining EA holder, from the transfer day—

the notice is taken to have been given to the transferee; and

anything done by the mining EA holder to comply with the notice is taken to have been done by the transferee.

Note—However, see section 848 in relation to transfers of environmental authorities to which this part applies.
