ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT 1986 - SECT 51H

51H .         Clearing permit conditions

        (1)         A clearing permit may be granted subject to such conditions as the CEO considers to be necessary or convenient for the purposes of preventing, controlling, abating or mitigating environmental harm or directly or indirectly offsetting the loss of the cleared vegetation.

        (2)         Section 51I sets out some kinds of conditions that may be attached to a clearing permit and further kinds of conditions may be prescribed, but nothing in that section or the regulations prevents other conditions from being attached.

        (3)         The CEO is not to attach —

            (a)         a condition that would, in the CEO’s opinion, be seriously at variance with the clearing principles except to the extent necessary to give effect to a decision made under section 51O(3); or

            (b)         subject to section 51P, a condition that would be inconsistent with an approved policy.

        [Section 51H inserted: No. 54 of 2003 s. 110(1); amended: No. 40 of 2020 s. 47.]
