Exemptions from an environmental impact statement
Section 211 of the Planning and Development Act 2007 allows an applicant to seek exemption from the requirement to complete an EIS. The Minister has discretion under this section of the Act to grant an exemption based on the information in previous studies.
If an exemption is granted then the EIS process is regarded as complete and the applicant can lodge a DA for assessment in the impact track. The application form 1M includes the request for exemption.
