   Permit Environmental Authority Contaminated land It is a requirement of the EP Act that an owner or occupier of land give written notice to the administering authority if they become aware of the following: the presence of, or happening of an event involving, a hazardous contaminant on the land that is causing, or is reasonably likely to cause, serious or material environmental harm (notice must be given within 24 hours); or if the land is contaminated land - a change in the condition of the land that is causing, or is reasonably likely to cause, serious or material environmental harm (notice must be given within 24 hours); or a notifiable activity (as defined in Schedule 3) having been carried out, or is being carried out, on the land (notice must be given within 20 business days). For further information, including the form for giving written notice, refer to the Queensland Government website www.qld.gov.au, using the search term `duty to notify'. Take effect Please note that, in accordance with section 200(1) of the EP Act, an EA has effect: (a) if the authority is for a prescribed ERA and it states that it takes effect on the day nominated by the holder of the authority in a written notice given to the administering authority--on the nominated day; or (b) if the authority states a day or an event for it to take effect--on the stated day or when the stated event happens; or (c) otherwise--on the day the authority is issued. However, in accordance with section 200(2) of the EP Act, the day that the EA takes effect may not be before: (a) if the authority is for a resource activity--the day the relevant tenure is granted to the applicant; or (b) if a development permit for a material change of use of premises under the Planning Act 2016 is necessary for carrying out an activity that related to the authority--the day the development permit takes effect; or (c) if an SDA Approval under the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971 is necessary for carrying out an activity that relates to the authority--the day the approval takes effect. If this EA takes effect when the additional authorisation takes effect, you must provide the administering authority written notice within 5 business days of receiving notification of the related additional authorisation taking effect. If you have incorrectly claimed that an additional authorisation is not required, carrying out the ERA without the additional authorisation is not legal and could result in your prosecution for providing false or misleading information or operating without a valid EA. 4 September 2026 Signature Date Juliana McCosker Enquiries: Delegate of the administering authority PO Box 7230, Cairns QLD 4870 Environmental Protection Act 1994 Phone: (07) 4222 5352 Email: ESCairns@detsi.qld.gov.au
