Environmental Protection Act 1994
Development application Form 1 - Application details—attachment for an
application for an environmental authority
This form is to be attached to the Development application Form 1 - Application details when making a development
application for prescribed environmentally relevant activities (ERAs). Under section 115 of the Environmental Protection Act
1994 (EP Act) the development approval (DA) application is taken to be an application for an environmental authority (EA)
for the prescribed ERAs.
It is recommended that prior to making an application for an environmentally relevant activity (ERA), you read the
information on what to provide with an application. This information is located on the Business Queensland
website at www.business.qld.gov.au (use the search term “Environmental licence”). This website also has a
diagnostic tool called the “forms and fees finder” which will help identify any fees and supporting information you
need to make an application.
Important notes:
The application can’t be to dredge or extract more than 10,000 tonnes of material a year in the North
Stradbroke Island region. This is prohibited development under the Planning Regulation 2017.
All applicants must be registered as suitable operators1. A suitable operator is a person or a corporation
assessed under section 318I of the EP Act as being suitable to carry out an ERA and is listed on the
suitable operator register2.
If more than one ERA is being applied for, the ERAs must be carried out as part of a single integrated
operation. ERAs are carried out as a single integrated operation if::
• the ERAs will be carried out under the day to day management of a single responsible individual (e.g.
a site manager or operations manager); and
• all of the ERAs are operationally interrelated, that is, the operation cannot function without all of the
ERAs. Separate applications will need to be made for the ERAs that cannot be carried out as a single
integrated operation; and
• the ERA/s are, or will be, carried out at one or more places; and
• the places where the ERAs will be carried out are close enough to make the integrated day to day
management of the activities feasible.
All the ERAs that will be on the EA must be prescribed ERAs. Prescribed ERAs are ERAs listed in schedule
2 of the Environmental Protection Regulation 2019.
1 Your EA application must be refused if you are not a registered suitable operator when the application is decided. To
become a registered suitable operator, apply using the form “Application to be a registered suitable operator -
ESR/2015/1771” (available at www.qld.gov.au, using the publication number ESR/2015/1771 as a search term).
2 The register is available on the Queensland Government website at www.qld.gov.au, using the search term “suitable
operator register”.

6. Environmental offsets
An environmental offset, under the Environmental Offsets Act 2014, may be required for an ERA where, despite
all reasonable measures to avoid and minimise impacts on certain environmental matters, there is still likely to
be significant residual impact on one or more of those matters.
You must verify the presence, whether temporary or permanent, of those environmental matters. For more
information refer to the Queensland Environmental Offsets Policy and the Significant Residual Impact Guideline
at the Queensland Government website at www.qld.gov.au, using the search term “environmental offsets”.
Will the ERA(s) being applied for result in a significant residual impact to a matter of State environmental
significance (MSES)?*
No Go to Question 7.
Yes You must attach supporting information that:

matters will be undertaken.

9. Assessment of the environmental impact
This question is not applicable if an EIS process under the State Development Act has been completed for all
the ERA(s) that are the subject of this application and the environmental risks of the activities and the way they
are proposed to be carried out has not changed since the EIS was completed.
You must attach to this application an assessment of the likely impact of each new ERA (whether from the DA
application or another new ERA you want included on the EA that does not require a DA) on environmental
values (*if applicable), including:
• a description of the environmental values likely to be affected by each relevant activity
• details of any emissions or releases likely to be generated by each relevant activity
• a description of the risk and likely magnitude of impacts on the environmental values
• details of the management practices proposed to be implemented to prevent or minimise adverse impacts
• details of how the land the subject of the application will be rehabilitated after each relevant activity ceases

Refer to the attached supporting information
I have attached the proposed measures.
11. Take effect date (when fees will commence being charged)
You may nominate when the EA will take effect should it be approved. The date the environmental authority
takes effect will be the date from which you can commence the activities as well as the date your annual fees
will commence to be charged (your anniversary date). Under section 200 of the EP Act, if a development permit
for a material change of use under the Planning Act 2016 or a State development area (SDA) approval is
required in order to carry out the ERA, the EA cannot take effect until the development permit or SDA approval
takes effect (known as taking effect pending development approval).

Application form
Development application Form 1 - Application details—attachment for an

Note that where you are applying new ERAs, and your existing EA is an amalgamated EA, the application for
ERAs associated with the DA application will create a new EA for the new ERAs. In this case you may wish to
nominate a take effect date in the future which, post approval of this application, will provide you with enough
time to amalgamate your current and new EAs. Amalgamating your EAs prior to the take effect date of your new
EA will prevent you being required to pay the first annual fee for your new EA.
Do you want the EA to take effect on the decision date, nominated date, or pending development approval?*
Decision date The take effect date will be the date of the decision.
Nominated date Details of nominated take effect date:
