Law & Regulation
Listing Notice 2, 2014
Identifies the activities that trigger the fuller Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (S&EIR) process under NEMA, targeting larger, more complex or higher-impact activities — including many mining, large-scale energy and significant infrastructure developments — for the more extensive assessment track.
Legal Significance
What This Instrument Does
An activity list keyed to sections 24(2) and 24D of NEMA; where a listed activity applies, the Scoping and EIA process prescribed by the EIA Regulations must be followed rather than the Basic Assessment process — the list, not the Regulations, determines which process-track applies. Instrument boundary: not an independent environmental statute, does not prescribe the S&EIR methodology itself, and does not apply to activities properly falling under Listing Notice 1 or 3.
Key Provisions
- Activity-trigger list under NEMA ss 24(2), 24(5), 24D, 44 and 47A(1)(b)
Lists the activities that require the Scoping and EIA process, and identifies the competent authority for each. Practical consequence: sponsors and lenders need to identify early whether a project's activities fall under Listing Notice 2 so that development timetables and financial-close conditions correctly reflect the longer, more resource-intensive statutory assessment track.
