State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971

This section applies after—

the Coordinator-General has received the final protected matters report under section 54R; and

the earlier of the following happens—

the proponent complies with all information requirement notices relating to the final report;

each period stated in an information requirement notice relating to the final report has ended.

The Coordinator-General must decide—

to approve the undertaking of all or part of the coordinated project in relation to each of the specified provisions; or

to refuse to approve the project.

However, the Coordinator-General must not approve the undertaking of the coordinated project to the extent the project will impact an environmental matter protected by a specified provision in a way that, in the Coordinator-General’s opinion, is unacceptable or unsustainable.

To remove any doubt, it is declared that if the Coordinator-General approves the undertaking of only part of a project, the balance of the project is refused.
