Consultation description

We want to know what you think about the proposed revisions to our public participation statement.

The statement explains when and how we consult on permit applications and standard rules for environmental permits.

The main revisions we propose are to:

  • refine the contents so you can find the information you need quickly
  • include a list things we consider when we decide if an application is ‘high public interest’
  • include when and how we consult on permit applications for:
    • flood risk activities
    • medium combustion plant
    • specified generators

We want to make sure that the statement remains useful, clear and user-friendly. We invite responses from anyone with an interest in when and how we consult on permit applications or standard rules.

See the draft statement.

We’ll use your responses to make changes to the draft statement.

We aim to publish our response document and the finalised version of the public participation statement in March 2019.
