170 Deciding standard application

(1) This section applies for a standard application.

(2) The administering authority must decide—

(a) that the application be approved subject to the standard conditions for the relevant activity or authority; or

(b) if the application is for a mining activity relating to a mining lease and a properly made submission is made for the application—that the applicant be issued an environmental authority on conditions that are different to the standard conditions for the activity or authority.

(3) However, the administering authority may only make a decision under subsection (2) (b) if the properly made submission relates to the subject of the standard condition to be changed.
