Imposition of environment mitigation levy

    (1)     Subject to subsection (2), if an event specified in column 2 of an item in the Table (that is not an excluded event) occurs, the environment mitigation levy is imposed in respect of the relevant land specified in column 3 of that item in the Table opposite that event.

    (2)     The environment mitigation levy cannot be imposed more than once in respect of land specified in column 3 of an item in the Table even if an event specified in column 2 of that item (that is not an excluded event) occurs again in respect of that land.

    (3)     For the purposes of items 4 and 5 in the Table, a parcel of land specified in column 3 of either of those items does not include a parcel of land that—

        (a)     is solely a buffer zone (within the meaning of section 7(2)); or

        (b)     has a buffer zone (within the meaning of section 7(2)) and an area to which the approved work plan referred to in column 2 for that item does not apply.

    (4)     To avoid doubt, a person is not entitled to pay any amount in respect of the environment mitigation levy that the person may be liable to pay in respect of a levy event until the levy event occurs.
