31A Reporting environmental performance
(1) A titleholder undertaking an activity must submit a report to the Minister in relation to the titleholder's environmental performance for the activity, at the intervals provided for in the environment plan.
Regulation 16(2) requires an environment plan to state when the titleholder will submit reports.
(2) If the Minister is not reasonably satisfied that a report is sufficient to enable the Minister to determine whether the environmental performance outcomes and standards in the environment plan have been met, the Minister may ask the titleholder to modify the report.
(3) The request must—
(b) identify the reasons why the Minister is not reasonably satisfied with the report.
If the Minister is still not reasonably satisfied after 2 or more requests for a modified report, this is a ground for the Minister to withdraw acceptance of the environment plan—see regulation 26(2)(d).
