Environmentally relevant activities - Prescribed
Environmentally relevant activities that are prescribed activities are generally industrial activities but can also include some agricultural activities. A full list of all of the prescribed ERAs can be found in schedule 2 of the Environmental Protection Regulation 2008.
What licence or permit do I need?
To conduct a prescribed ERA you will require an environmental authority.
If the activity you are proposing to undertake is also listed as a concurrence activity in schedule 2 of the Environmental Protection Regulation 2008 (has a ‘C’ in the right hand column), you will also require a development approval.
