An amalgamated licence is a legal document that contains standard conditions to control the operation of scheduled premises to minimise impacts on the environment. These conditions address areas such as waste acceptance and treatment, air and water discharges, noise and odour.

This dataset contains all operating licences (OL) under section 74 of the Environment Protection Act 2017. An OL is a type of licence is for a prescribed activity(https://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/in-force/statutory-rules/environment-protection-regulations-2021/) in Schedule 1 of the Environment Protection Regulations 2021. Licensed activities require the highest level of regulatory control within the EPA permissions scheme(https://www.epa.vic.gov.au/about-epa/publications/1799-2) (publication 1799 at EPA website). This is due to the potential high risk of harm to human health and the environment. An operating licence is a type of permission issued by EPA. It is a legal document held by a legal entity, whether a person, a company, a statutory corporation or a municipal council, and contains conditions that regulate the risk of harm to human health and environment from the activity at the OL activity site. These conditions address areas including: risk management, record keeping and reporting, waste acceptance and treatment or disposal, air and water discharges, and noise and odour. This dataset mirrors the operating licence data available on EPA's public register, but may not be up to date due to data transfer processes. For the most up to date data, go to EPA's public register for permissions(https://www.epa.vic.gov.au/about-epa/public-registers/permissions).

Permits which the EPA issues to allow certain vehicles to carry specific waste types.

This dataset holds information on the EPA's environmental authorisations. Under the Environment Protection Act 1993, the EPA administers three types of authorisations: licences, exemptions and works approvals.

Works approval is required pursuant to section 19A of the Environment Protection Act 1970 for works at scheduled premises which will, or will be likely to, alter or increase the discharge of wastes or emission of noise to the environment. This also applies to the treatment and storage of prescribed wastes. The works approval process was established to deal with commercial scale proposals where industrial process and discharge parameters are well known and where there is an ongoing discharge to the environment. Given the nature of research, development and demonstration projects, a different procedure is needed to cater for such projects that are typically limited in scale, duration and environmental impact. This procedure is known as research, development and demonstration (RD&D) approval and is applicable to genuine RD&D projects. Large projects that pose the same level of risk of environmental impact as established commercial scale industrial processes will have to undergo the usual works approval.
