Clearing permit applications for public comment

When we accept applications for clearing permits under the Environmental Protection Act 1986, we publish them here for public comment. The types of applications that are listed in the table below include: 

  • applications for new clearing permits (including those seeking concurrent assessment using the assessment bilateral agreement after a referral under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth))

Referrals of proposed clearing and applications to surrender or transfer an existing clearing permit are not available for public comment.
