Northern Territory Environment Protection Authority (NTEPA)
The Northern Territory Environment Protection Authority (NT EPA) is an independent statutory authority and is currently assessing the environmental impacts of the Darwin Processing Facility proposed by TNG Limited at Middle Arm.
The proposal is being assessed under the Environmental Assessment Act 1982 (EA Act).
Transitional arrangements under the Environment Protection Act 2019 (EP Act) also apply.
The NT EPA’s assessment must also satisfy the Australian Government by addressing matters protected under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
On Thursday 20 May 2021, the NT EPA gave TNG Limited a Direction to Provide Additional Information considered necessary to enable the NT EPA to fully assess the potential impacts of the proposed Darwin Processing Facility and provide advice to the Minister for Environment on its environmental acceptability.
