Current environmental authority application or amendment documents

In Queensland, resource activities (which includes coal and mineral mining, petroleum and gas, geothermal and greenhouse gas storage activities) must have a specific type of licence called an environmental authority (EA) to operate legally.

As the environmental regulator, the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation is responsible for assessing applications for EAs. This includes applications for new EAs and applications to amend existing EAs for resource activities.

The table below provides links to information about current applications for EAs and major amendments to EAs for resource activities that are undergoing public notification as part of the assessment by the department.

Some of these applications may also be undergoing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process. Find out more about current EIS projects.

Unless an application lapses or is withdrawn, it is accessible on this web page until a decision is made about the application. If an application for an EA or amended EA is approved, it will be available on the EA register.

Have your say

You can have your say by making a submission on these applications when they are open for public consultation. Details are available on the department’s public notices and consultations web page.
