About the EIS process
Pre-lodgement service
The department offers pre-lodgement meetings to all prospective applicants seeking direction and advice regarding environmental impact statement (EIS) applications and approvals pathways. These services can be initiated by completing and submitting the application form Application for pre-lodgement services for an environmental authority.
The department expects that persons considering a proposal that may require an EIS would engage early with their appropriate EIS consultants and work through aspects of their project with the department to clarify the needs of an EIS.
