145 Effect of prohibition on environment protection licences
The EPA must refuse an application for the issue, transfer or variation of a licence if granting the application would purport to authorise an activity or work prohibited by this Part.
Note—
A licence cannot be refused if it is necessary for carrying out State significant development authorised by a development consent or approved State significant infrastructure—see the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, sections 4.42 and 5.24.
