A referred proposal can only be declared to be a "derived proposal" under Section 39B(3) of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 if the referred proposal was identified in a "strategic proposal" that has been assessed by the Environmental Protection Authority and approved by the Minister for the Environment. Because the category of "strategic proposal" results from relatively recent amendments to the Environmental Protection Act 1986 , there have not been any strategic proposals that have been assessed and approved. Hence no "derived proposals" have yet been declared. (2) Not relevant.
