The EIA report is a required supplement to
the application for a decision-in-principle.
Implementation of the project will also need a
construction licence from Government and an
operating licence before the plant is commissioned.
Moreover, permits under the Environmental
Protection Act and the Water Act are also needed, and also a construction permit
from the local authority. The local detailed plan
must allow for construction of the facility. The
information from the EIA procedure will be
used in the permit process.
