Notice of review of environment protection licences
As a result of the introduction in July 1999 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act), the community has the opportunity to contribute to a formal process of reviewing conditions contained in environment protection licences issued by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA).
These licences specify environmental performance requirements for certain industrial activities. Appropriate conditions are generally negotiated with the licensee taking into account factors such as the surrounding environmental conditions, type of activity and available technology.
The POEO Act requires the EPA to review each licence at least once every five years. We welcome submissions regarding licence reviews from the public at any time.
You can obtain copies of each environment protection licence by:
- using the public register website to view/print/download a copy of the
licence(s) you are interested in. - telephoning Environment Line on 131 555.
