New licence fee structure
The EPA is implementing the new licence fee structure between July 2008 and June 2009. This new licence fee structure was developed in consultation with industry and the community and is based on 'user pays' and 'polluter pays' principles. In this new structure licence fees reflect the EPA's regulatory effort as well as the amount and type of pollutants discharged to the environment.
Accredited licences
The accredited licence system is designed to provide companies
having a high level of environmental performance, together with
an ongoing commitment to such performance, to be freed from the
standard prescriptive approach to licensing.
An accredited licensee must demonstrate a high level of environmental
performance and an ongoing capacity to maintain and improve this
performance.
An applicant for accreditation must be the holder of an EPA licence,
have an Environmental Management System and an Environmental Audit
and Compliance Program approved by the EPA.
Before applying for accreditation, applicants should arrange
to discuss their proposals at an early stage with their licence
coordinator.

the Development Assessment Commission.)
EPA to introduce long-term licences
The Environment Protection Authority Board has resolved to implement
five-year licences under the Environment Protection Act as a default
tool, and allow up to ten-year licences on application by licensees.
It is expected that these changes will commence for all licence
renewals and applications after 1 February 2006 and will assist
companies to conduct their business without compromising the environment.
