24D: Requirements for substantive application

You could also call this:

“Rules for applying for special approvals”

When you want to make a substantive application, you need to follow some important rules. You must use the form that the EPA (Environmental Protection Authority) has approved. You can find this form on their website.

Your application needs to include all the information that was asked for in the notice you received under section 24. It also needs to meet the requirements listed in subclause (3) for the type of approval you’re seeking.

If your application is about an activity that was decided on under section 22D, you need to explain what you’ve done to get the agreement mentioned in section 4A(1)(a).

You must send in your application by the deadline that was given to you under section 24(3)(d).

If your application is for a Part A listed project, you need to include extra information. This is the same information required by section 14(3), but with some small changes.

The specific requirements for different types of approvals are listed in subclause (3). Each type of approval has its own set of rules that you need to follow. These rules are found in different parts of the law, depending on what kind of approval you’re asking for.

Remember, the EPA must approve the application form you use. They will make sure this form is available on their website for you to use.
