3.3.3 Notification stage Development applications requiring impact assessment must be publicly notified. This is known as the public notification stage of IDAS. Submissions may be made by people other than the applicant or a concurrence agency during the public notification period for impact assessable development or a combined application including an impact assessable component. Submissions may influence the outcome of an application and must be accepted by the assessment manager if properly made. Public notification of development applications ensures that the public is aware of the development and gives them the opportunity to make submissions about it. A properly made submission will secure for the submitter the right to appeal to the Planning and Environment Court about the assessment manager’s decision. Many local governments require impact assessment for meat chicken farms of particular intensity and particular zoning/locality. It is necessary to check the local planning schemes to determine what level of assessment applies to the proposed development. Meat chicken farm developments that fall under the definition of ERA 4 (Poultry farming) in the EP Regulation are generally prescribed as impact assessable development and therefore require public notification. 3.3.4 Decision stage Assessable development may require code assessment, impact assessment or both. The environmental impacts of a development are assessed as part of the decision stage of IDAS for all development applications (code assessable or impact assessable). If an application (or part of an application) requires code assessment, the assessment manager must assess the part of the application against the matters specified in the SP Act to the extent that the matters are relevant to the development. The assessment manager must also have regard to the common material, any development approval for, and any lawful use of, the land subject of the application, any referral agency’s response and the purposes of any instrument containing an applicable code. If an application (or part of an application) requires impact assessment, the assessment manager must assess the part of the application against the matters specified in the SP Act to the extent that the matters are relevant to the development. If the administering authority is the assessment manager or a referral agency for a development application for an activity (e.g. ERA 4 Poultry farming), in assessing the application the administering authority must: comply with any relevant regulatory requirement ii ii Regulatory requirement means a requirement under an environmental protection policy or a regulation for the administering authority to: a) grant or refuse to grant, or follow stated procedures for evaluating, any of the following applications: i. a development application for which the administering authority is the assessment manager or a referral agency ii. an environmental authority application iii. an application for approval of a transitional environmental program b) impose, change or cancel a condition on a development approval for a Chapter 4 activity, an environmental authority or an approval of a transitional environmental program.
