10  Information required in application

 (1) This section applies to the following applications:

 (a) for a project other than a pre-existing project—the application under section 22 of the Act for the declaration of the project as an eligible offsets project;

 (b) for a pre-existing project—the request under section 128 of the Act to approve the application of this methodology determination to the project;

 (c) an application for a variation under section 29 of the Act that adds eligible land to the project area.

 (2) The application must allocate one or more areas of land covered by the application to particular project activities.

 (3) Subject to Schedule 5, the allocation is made by:

 (a) specifying the area of land; and

 (b) specifying the project activity for which it is reserved; and

 (c) providing evidence that it is eligible land for the project activity.

Note 1: The requirements for land to be eligible land for a particular project activity are set out in the Schedule dealing with that project activity.

Note 2: Schedule 5 provides simplified requirements for certain CEAs in pre-existing projects.

 (4) An area of land may be allocated to one project activity only.

Note: Different project areas or different parts of a project area may be allocated to different project activities; a CEA can be established only on land allocated to the relevant project activity.

 (5) If such an allocation is made, the application is the relevant application for the area of land.

 (6) The application must include time-stamped and geo-referenced remotely sensed imagery covering the period of 7 years before the eligibility date for the land.

Note: The Schedules include further requirements for evidence in relation to particular project activities.

 (7) If a proponent proposes to establish a CEA as any of the following:

 (a) a conversion CEA to which subsection 29(2) applies;

 (b) a continuing plantation CEA;

 (c) a permanent planting CEA;

 (d) a remnant plantation A CEA;

 (e) a remnant plantation B CEA;

  then the application must:

 (f) specify the proposed CEA and the project activity to be conducted; and

 (g) include a forest management plan to the extent that it relates to the proposed CEA.
