Environmental permit and Real estate developments

Environmental permit and Real estate developments: expert guidance on applications and procedures

An environmental permit is often required to carry out an activity, such as (re)construction, changing use, or for an environmentally harmful activity. The Environmental Planning Act determines in which situations a permit is necessary. Not all activities require a permit, but many projects are assessed against national rules and the municipality's Environmental Plan. If there are no specific rules, a permit can only be granted if there is an 'equitable allocation of functions to locations.'
