Australia: state and territory permits

Partial documentary review; human legal review pending. No single Australian licence is assigned. New South Wales is included as a territorial example: its EPA regulates environmental protection licences under the POEO Act 1997. These rules are not extended to other states or territories.

• Locate the state or territory before selecting authority and legislation.
• In NSW, check whether the activity requires licensing and the scope of the licensed sewerage system, not just the plant point.
• Review of the other Australian jurisdictions remains pending.
