ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AUTHORITY
One of the EPA’s key roles is to provide government with advice on the environmental acceptability of development proposals and statutory planning schemes. Development proposals include proposals for mining, industry as well as infrastructure such as ports, railways and pipelines. Planning schemes include both statutory planning schemes and their amendments.
The process of referral and assessment of significant and strategic proposals is outlined in further detail in the Environmental Impact Assessment (Part IV Divisions 1 and 2) Administrative Procedures 2016 and the Environmental Impact Assessment Procedures Manual (Part IV Divisions 1 and 2).
