Permission requirements
In most cases, an operating licence is required after a development licence. However, some activities only require a permit or may not require a permission to operate.
Apply for an operating licence or permit through our portal. If your development licence modifies an existing permissioned activity, apply to amend your current permit or operating licence.
More information on permits or operating licences is available on our website.
If you do not need a permission to operate, you must still meet all your duties under the Act. We may inspect your activities to check compliance.
Operating licence applications and section 73 statements
If you are applying for a new operating licence and you hold a development licence and a section 73 statement confirming you have completed your development activity, you will:
- receive a decision within 15 business days
- not have to pay an application fee.
If you have not obtained a section 73 statement, you will:
- receive a decision within 42 business days
- pay an application fee.
