Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) The administering authority may impose the conditions on the environmental authority (chapter 5A activities) it considers are necessary or desirable.
(2) The conditions must include—
(a) any condition the administering authority is required to impose under a regulatory requirement; and
(b) for chapter 5A activities carried out in a wild river area—the conditions stated, for relevant chapter 5A activities for the authority, in the wild river declaration for the area.
(3) Without limiting subsections (1) and (2), the conditions may—
(a) require the environmental authority holder to do all or any of the following—
(i) install and operate stated plant or equipment in a stated way within a stated period;
(ii) take stated measures to minimise the likelihood of environmental harm being caused;
(iii) carry out and report on a stated monitoring program;
(iv) prepare, and comply with, a transitional environmental program;
(v) give relevant information reasonably required by the administering authority for the administration or enforcement of this Act;
(vi) carry out or report about stated rehabilitation or remediation work relating to a relevant chapter 5A activity; or
(b) prohibit the holder from changing, replacing or operating any plant or equipment installed at the relevant place for the environmental authority if the change, replacement or operation increases, or is likely to substantially increase, the risk of environmental harm; or
(c) provide that the environmental authority ceases, or ceases to have effect—
(i) on a stated day; or
(ii) when a stated period ends; or
(iii) on the happening of a stated event; or
(iv) if a stated event has not happened on or before a stated day.
Example of a stated event—
the granting of a relevant resource authority for the environmental authority
(4) To remove any doubt, it is declared that a condition may be imposed even if it imposes an obligation on the environmental authority holder that continues to apply after the authority has ended or ceased to have effect.
Example—
A condition may—
(a) be about rehabilitation of the land to which the environmental authority relates after the authority has ended; or
(b) require a site management plan for the land.
(5) Despite subsections (1) to (4), if a relevant resource authority for the environmental authority is, or is included in, a significant project—
(a) all conditions for the environmental authority stated in the Coordinator-General's report for the project (the Coordinator-General's conditions) must be imposed on the environmental authority; and
(b) any other condition imposed on the environmental authority must not be inconsistent with the Coordinator-General's conditions.
(6) A condition may be imposed even if the applicant did not ask for it under section 309W.
