DEMIRS and DWER encourage you to engage early with the departments to discuss identified site-specific environmental factors and risks that will need to be considered in the applications.
Parallel processing can help reduce a proposal’s overall approval timeline. DEMIRS and DWER are committed to parallel processing of environmental applications where multiple approvals are required.
Proponents should ensure that they:
- Work together with government to ascertain early the relevant project approvals and timeframes;
- Understand that the provision of high quality information with your application will lead to a more timely and predictable approvals process;
- Undertake thorough community engagement about the proposal and realise that strong community support for a proposal can reduce approval timeframes.
