                                Causes $5,000 to $50,000.00 damage to property
                                $5,000.00 to $50,000.00 costs to prevent or minimise the impact and
                                rehabilitation of restore the environment.

Serious Environmental Impact Environmental impact that causes actual or potential impact to
                             environmental values and
                             Is irreversible, high impact or widespread
                             Causes actual or potential impact to environmental values of an area
                             of high conservation value or special significance
                             Cause great than $50,000 damage to property, or
                             Greater than $50,000.00 in costs to prevent or minimise the impact
                             and rehabilitation or restore the environment.
