54ZL Compliance under Environmental Protection Act
The Environmental Protection Act, sections 437 to 440 and 493A apply to the undertaking of a coordinated project as if an environmental approval for the project were an environmental authority under that Act.
Also, the Environmental Protection Act, section 493 applies in relation to an offence against that Act, chapter 8, part 3 in relation to a coordinated project.
Subsection (4) applies if—
a proceeding is proposed to be started in the Planning and Environment Court under the Environmental Protection Act, section 505; and
the relief or remedy proposed to be sought in the proceeding relates to an offence, or threatened or anticipated offence, against a provision of the Environmental Protection Act because of section 493A of that Act as applied under subsection (1); and
the offence or threatened or anticipated offence relates to the coordinated project.
Despite the Environmental Protection Act, section 505, only the following persons may bring the proceeding—
the Coordinator-General;
an entity nominated under section 54V as having jurisdiction for a condition of the environmental approval for the coordinated project;
the local government for the local government area in which the coordinated project is, or is to be, undertaken;
the proponent;
another person whose interests are significantly adversely affected by the subject matter of the proceeding.
