Additional information for applicants

Environmentally relevant activities

The description of any environmentally relevant activity (ERA) for which an environmental authority is issued is
a restatement of the ERA as defined by legislation at the time the approval is issued. Where there is any
inconsistency between that description of an ERA and the conditions stated by an environmental authority as to
the scale, intensity or manner of carrying out an ERA, then the conditions prevail to the extent of the
inconsistency.

An environmental authority authorises the carrying out of an ERA and does not authorise any environmental
harm unless a condition stated by the authority specifically authorises environmental harm.

A person carrying out an ERA must also be a registered suitable operator under the Environmental Protection
Act 1994 (EP Act).

Contaminated land

It is a requirement of the EP Act that an owner or occupier of land give written notice to the chief executive if
they become aware of the following:

e anotifiable activity (as defined in Schedule 3) that is being, or has been, carried out on the land (notice
must be given within 20 business days)

e an event involving a hazardous contaminant on the land, or a change in the condition of the
contaminated land, that is causing, or is reasonably likely to cause, serious or material environmental
harm (notice must be given within 24 hours).

For further information, including the form for giving written notice, refer to the Queensland Government
website http://www.qld.gov.au/ (using the search term ‘managing contaminated land’).
