Registration certificates
All operators of environmentally relevant activities (other than mining or petroleum activities) - known as chapter 4 activities - must be 'registered operators'.
This means operators of all chapter 4 activities listed in schedule 2 of the Environmental Protection Regulation 2008. In addition all operators must have either:
- A development approval for the activity; or
- Operate under a code of environmental compliance for chapter 4 activities.
Operators apply to the administering authority (EPA, DPI&F or local government) to be registered. An application for registration must be submitted with the prescribed fee. Registration authorises the registered operator to carry out the activities at the places stated in the certificate.
Registration certificates may be issued for multiple activities and sites where it is considered that the activities are part of a 'single integrated operation'.
An annual fee for registration applies for all chapter 4 activities. Information on fees can be found in the information sheet Summary of fees - Environmentally Relevant Activities (ERAs).
