Artificial reef placement - Permit application form

About the permit application form

The purpose of this form is to enable the assessment of the need for, and potential environmental impacts of, a proposal to place an artificial reef at sea. On the basis of this assessment the Minister may grant or refuse to grant a permit for the proposed placement under Section 19 of the Environment Protection (Sea Dumping) Act 1981 (the Sea Dumping Act).

As part of the application, you are required to provide a long-term management plan for the proposed artificial reef. As part of this, you should determine whether you and/or your organisation have sufficient resources to carry out a reef placement project and be able to monitor the project well into the future.
