Heads of Maritime Area and Foreshore (Amendment) Bill 2013: Discussion

2:45 pm

Dr. Karen Creed:

We are responsible for the regulation of wastewater discharges and IPPC and waste facilities that might discharge to the foreshore. We have a responsibility under other licensing regimes and other legislation for those aspects which relate to the discharge, but the actual infrastructure involved would need foreshore licensing permission.
