What Is Pollution Consent Amendment?

A Pollution Consent Amendment generally refers to the process of seeking modification or updating of information associated with an existing pollution consent when the approved project, industrial activity or operational details undergo relevant changes.

Depending on the nature of the industry and the applicable consent conditions, an amendment may be required when there is a change in production capacity, product or manufacturing activity, machinery, raw materials, fuel, manufacturing process, pollution control equipment or other approved particulars.

Businesses should not assume that every operational change can automatically be covered under an existing Consent to Establish or Consent to Operate. The requirement for amendment, fresh approval, expansion-related approval or other regulatory action may depend on the specific facts, consent conditions and applicable requirements.

Keep Approved Pollution Consent Details Updated

When significant approved details change, businesses should review their existing pollution consent and determine the appropriate regulatory process before implementing or regularising the relevant changes.

When May Pollution Consent Amendment Be Required?

The requirement for amendment depends on the existing consent, the proposed change and applicable regulatory requirements. The following are common situations where an industry may need to review whether consent modification or another approval process is required.

Change in Production Capacity

Increase, reduction or modification in approved production capacity or operational scale.

Addition of New Products

Introduction of products or activities not covered under the existing consent particulars.
