Commonwealth, state and territory requirements
The Emissions Reduction Fund project registration allows a project to participate in the Emissions Reduction Fund scheme. It is not an authority to conduct an activity. It does not override legal requirements to obtain permits or displace another authority’s role in interpreting and enforcing its laws.
Hence, it is important that Emissions Reduction Fund participants make enquiries with respect to any state, territory and local requirements and comply with all other laws.
The Clean Energy Regulator may not issue ACCUs if there is non-compliance with other laws.
