What it actually says
This section of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 is omitted. It no longer has any legal effect.
Section 40A originally concerned 'Consolidated Licences' but was removed from the statute. Any reference to it in current law is meaningless.
Readers looking for rules on waste management licences should refer to sections 35 to 43 of the same Act.
When it applies
- A person seeking to apply for a consolidated waste management licence will find that section 40A is blank.
- A legal researcher examining the history of waste licensing will note this section's omission.
- A waste operator trying to understand current licensing requirements will not find any information here.
What this section does not say
- People often believe section 40A still provides the definition or procedure for consolidated licences, but it does not.
- Some may think it contains transitional provisions for existing licences, but those are not present.
- Others might expect it to list the conditions for a consolidated licence; however, such conditions are covered in sections 35-43.
- The concept of consolidated licences is not defined in this section; definitions may be found in interpretative provisions.
