Environmental Protection and Other
Legislation Amendment Bill 2008
Erratum To Explanatory Notes
Title of the Bill
Environmental Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2008
Reason for Erratum
Due to late amendments to the draft Bill, the Office of Queensland
Parliamentary Counsel (OQPC) renumbered the clauses. A small number
of these changes were missed in final edits in three sections of the
explanatory notes. In another section, there is a typing error.

transitional authority (SAA)

The correct period is 3 years not 2.
Explanation: Typing error.

The first line reads `This section provides that, despite section 616H above,
any existing...'.
It should read `This section provides that, despite section 616I above, any
existing...'.
Clause 616S Application of current Act to amendment application
This section reads:
`This section provides that Chapter 5 part 8 (Amendment of authorities by

for an existing project, except as amended by sections 616P (No public
notice or EIS requirement for particular new authority applications) and
616Q (Reference to State government agreement includes particular
rights). Consequently, this section ensures that amendment applications for
SAA mines will be processed in accordance with the usual processes.'
This section should read:
`This section provides that Chapter 5 part 8 (Amendment of authorities by
application) applies to applications to amend a transitional authority (SAA)
for an existing project, except as amended by sections 616T (No public
notice or EIS requirement for particular amendment applications) and
