New South Wales Consolidated Acts

FORESTRY AND NATIONAL PARK ESTATE ACT 1998 - SECT 34

34 Approval may set out terms of relevant licence

(1) An integrated forestry operations approval may set out the terms of any relevant licence. If the approval does so, any person carrying out forestry operations covered by the approval is taken to hold a licence in those terms under the relevant Act.

(2) Any such licence has effect, for all purposes, as a licence granted under the relevant Act.

(3) The Ministers granting the approval may rely on the information in the relevant regional forest assessment for the purpose of determining the terms of any relevant licence. In particular, a species impact statement or other separate environmental assessment is not required to be obtained for that purpose.

(4) The terms of any relevant licence need not extend to all forestry operations covered by the approval.

(5) Any licence previously granted under the relevant Act ceases to have effect to the extent that it deals with forestry operations covered by the approval and the terms of a relevant licence set out in the approval.

(6) This section does not prevent the grant of a relevant licence under a relevant Act if it does not deal with forestry operations covered by the terms of a relevant licence set out in an integrated forestry operations approval.
