This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Natural Environment Bill

Natural resource permits - Notification, submissions, and hearings - Notification

145: Mandatory public notification in some circumstances

You could also call this:

"When to Tell the Public About Resource Permits"

Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

If you apply for a natural resource permit, the permit authority might need to tell the public about it. This happens if you ask them to, or if another part of this bill, like section 147, says they must. It also happens if a natural environment plan or a national rule says the public must be told about the activity you are applying for.
