Commenting on applications
EPA receives and assesses applications to issue works approvals or licences. Works approvals and licences permit work to be undertaken which will result in a discharge of waste to the environment or an increase or alteration in an existing discharge to the environment.
Interested people may comment in writing on the application and may request in writing to be notified if the works approval/licence is issued.
A copy or a summary of these applications, accompanying plans, specifications and other information can be viewed at no charge and a summary may be obtained at $8 each from EPA head or regional office for applications relating to that region. Where available, electronic copies of these applications (as Adobe PDF files), can be downloaded.
All comments must be made in writing to:
EPA Victoria
GPO Box 4395QQ
Melbourne Victoria 3001
Comments should be made by the comments closing date and should include:
- contact details
- application number and applicant name
- your comments.
Please note that any comments received will usually be made publicly available.
At the moment comments should not be made via email. This service may be introduced in the future.
Informal enquiries may be made by contacting EPA.
