84A: Conditions relating to infrastructure

You could also call this:

"Rules for making sure infrastructure is good enough for a project"

Illustration for Fast-track Approvals Act 2024

You can have conditions set to ensure the infrastructure is adequate for your project. The panel sets these conditions to support your project or a specific stage of it. They can do this in addition to other powers they have under the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024. You might have to meet certain obligations if conditions are set under this section. These conditions can be just for you, the applicant. The panel's power to set conditions under this section started after it was inserted by section 41 of the Fast-track Approvals Amendment Act 2025. The conditions are there to make sure the infrastructure is good enough for your project.
