How to make a submission

A submission is written comments/observations on a licence application. The submission should relate to the application itself or any Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) accompanying the application.

How can I make a submission?

You can make submission in writing online or by posting/faxing it to the offices of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Who can make a submission?

Anyone (including the applicant) can make a submission on a licence application to the EPA.

When can I make one?

Submissions on a licence application can be made:

• Once the application has been received by the EPA and
•  Before the Board of the EPA makes a decision on an application

It is important to lodge your submission as early as possible, as late submissions cannot be considered. All submissions we receive are acknowledged in writing.

Withdrawal of a Submission

A submission may be withdrawn at any time prior to it being considered by the Board of the Agency.

How will I know what the EPA's decision is?

Anyone who makes a valid submission is issued with a copy of the proposed and final determinations.

All documentation received in respect of a licence application, including any submissions, are available to view on this website.
