Applicability and category review
Map the proposed activity and current project stage against the relevant framework.
POLLUTION CLEARANCE — LICENCES & COMPLIANCE
Identify relevant environment needs.
Align site, process and capacity data.
UNDERSTAND YOUR REQUIREMENTS
Environmental requirements depend on the activity, location, category, scale and project stage. Consent to Establish, Consent to Operate, waste authorisations and environmental clearance are different requirements, with exemptions and integrated procedures applying in some cases. We help organise an applicability review and the supporting record for the agreed route.
PLAN THE RIGHT SUPPORT
Map the proposed activity and current project stage against the relevant framework.
Organise the records for the applicable establishment or operating consent.
Identify whether the waste streams require a separate or integrated authorisation.
Check available conditions, validity and proposed changes before further work.
Identify issues before assuming the project is exempt or ready to operate.
Align site, process and capacity information.
Organise the pollution-control and waste-management information.
The correct route depends on the people, activity and location involved.
Identify the process, products, capacity and proposed operations.
Review the applicable state framework and current categorisation.
Check current notifications and actual conditions before assuming a separate application is required or waived.
The final requirements depend on the applicable jurisdiction, current rules and the details of your case.
Choose the structure around your ownership and operating plans.
This is a starting checklist. Final requirements depend on your profile and the relevant filing procedure. Do not submit identity documents through the general enquiry form.
Confirm the process, site, scale and current stage.
Stage 1
Review category, consents, authorisations and applicable exemptions.
Stage 2
Prepare the project and pollution-control information.
Stage 3
Submit the agreed records and address authority queries or inspection.
Stage 4
Understand the outcome and continuing compliance obligations.
Stage 5
Complete technical details are essential for the applicability review.
Authority review, technical queries and inspection can affect timing.
Validity, monitoring and any renewal or change requirements must be checked against the actual permission.
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
| Requirement | General focus | Important check |
|---|---|---|
| Establishment or operating consent | Controls relevant to setting up or operating a unit. | Current applicability, exemptions and project stage. |
| Environmental clearance | Assessment under the applicable environmental-clearance framework. | Whether the project falls within its scope. |
| Waste authorisation | The relevant regulated waste-management activity. | Waste streams and any integrated permission route. |
Current consent rules include exemptions and consolidated procedures. Do not assume every unit needs every permission—or that one exemption removes all obligations.
