Fast-track Approvals Bill

Fast-track approval approvals process for eligible projects - Miscellaneous provisions - Cost recovery

27B: Delegation of cost-recovery function by Minister

You could also call this:

“Minister can let EPA handle money stuff, but can change their mind”

The Minister can give the EPA permission to do their job of recovering costs. This permission is given in writing. The Minister can take back this permission at any time, but they need to tell the EPA in writing when they do. Even if the Minister gives the EPA this job, they can still do it themselves if they want to.

You can find more information about cost recovery in section 27A.
