Guidelines for preparing a review of environmental factors
How to assess the environmental impacts of activities within NSW national parks
The guidelines have been prepared for anyone proposing to undertake an activity within lands reserved or acquired under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.
These guidelines provide specific guidance for the completion of the standard template for preparing a review of environmental factors (DOCX 272KB).
Please note that fees for accepting and determining reviews of environmental factors have been increased since publication of these guidelines. Current fees (for the 2025–26 financial year) are $261 for lodging the review and $107 per hour for assessing the application. National Parks and Wildlife Service staff travel for site visits incurs a mileage cost of $0.88/km from the nearest National Parks and Wildlife Service office.
For minor works associated with telecommunication installations, a simpler Review of environmental factors for minor telecommunication works template (DOCX 197KB) is available.
