Environment Protection Act 2017

The Authority or a council may amend, on its own initiative, a permission issued or granted by it—

to correct any administrative or clerical errors in the permission; or

to make an amendment required under the regulations; or

in the case of a licence or a permit, to revoke or amend a condition of the licence or permit or to impose a new condition on the licence or permit; or

in the case of a registration, to modify the application of the standard conditions to the registration.

When determining whether to amend a licence or permit under subsection (1)(c), the Authority or council must take into account—

in the case of a development licence, the considerations set out in section 69(3); and

in the case of an operating licence, the considerations set out in section 74(3); and

in the case of a pilot project licence, the considerations set out in section 78(2); and

in the case of a permit, the considerations set out in section 81(3) and (4)(b) and (c).

The Authority or council must, as soon as practicable after amending a permission under this section, give the permission holder written notice stating—

the amendment and the reasons for the amendment; and

the date on which the amendment takes effect; and

in the case of an amendment made under subsection (1)(c), that the holder of the licence or permit may apply to VCAT for review of the decision.
