Environment and Resource Management

Our decisions

Appeals

General information about decisions made by the department can be found in our annual reports.

Development assessment decisons

Activities that could impact on the environment, may need a licence or permit. If the activity includes development assessable under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, for example construction in a coastal management district, an environmentally relevant activity, development of a privately owned heritage-registered place or development within a Wetland Protection Area, an approval will be required. An application for a development permit must be made under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.

The department has an advice agency role for development that may impact on wetlands, conservation estate managed by the department and heritage registered places. Further information can be obtained by referring to the Advice Agency referrals under SPA/IDAS.
