State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971

A person may apply to the Coordinator-General for a bilateral project declaration if the person is—

the applicant for a coordinated project declaration for a project; or

the proponent of a coordinated project.

The application must—

be in writing; and

briefly describe the impacts the project is likely to have on any environmental matter protected by a specified provision or another provision of the Commonwealth Environment Act, part 3; and

include enough information about the project to allow the Coordinator-General to consider whether the project is a project mentioned in section 54J(2) or (3).

The application may be made at the same time an application for a coordinated project declaration for the project is made.
