In terms of new NEMA EIA

Appeals against an environmental authorisation issued in terms of the NEMA EIA Regulationswill be dealt with differently. The new process requires that the applicant/appellant fill in the notice of intention to appeal form which must be submitted to the Ministry within ten (10) days of being notified of the decision taken by the Department. The actual appeal must be submitted on the NEMA appeal questionnaire. This section should be read in conjunction with the appeal guideline.
