63—Prescribed criteria

        (1)         The following criteria are prescribed for the purposes of section 46(9) of the Act:

            (a)         the character of the receiving environment;

            (b)         the potential social, economic and environmental impacts of the development or project;

            (c)         the resilience of the environment to cope with change;

            (d)         the degree of confidence in the prediction of impacts resulting from the development or project;

            (e)         the extent to which undesirable impacts which may occur are likely to be irreversible;

            (f)         the extent to which impacts, and requirements for monitoring and assessing impacts, will be ongoing;

            (g)         the presence of other statutory assessment or policy frameworks which provide other procedures or processes to address any issues of concern.

        (2)         For the purposes of taking into account the criteria prescribed by subregulation (1), consideration must be given to—

            (a)         the extent of impacts by an analysis of their—

                  (i)         type;

                  (ii)         size;

                  (iii)         scope;

                  (iv)         intensity;

                  (v)         duration; and

            (b)         the nature of impacts by an analysis of—

                  (i)         the degree to which the impacts are predictable;

                  (ii)         the resilience of the environment to cope with change;

                  (iii)         the degree to which the impacts can be reversed;

                  (iv)         the degree to which the impacts can be managed or mitigated;

                  (v)         the degree to which performance criteria can be applied in the circumstances of the case; and

            (c)         the significance of impacts by an analysis of—

                  (i)         the degree to which the impacts adversely affect environmentally sensitive areas;

                  (ii)         the degree to which the impacts are acceptable considering the nature of the impacts; and

            (d)         other factors determined to be relevant by the Development Assessment Commission.
