The Minister for the Environment has provided the following response:

are the Minister for Water; Minister for Aboriginal Affairs; Minister for Planning; Minister for Lands; and Minister for Transport.
(2) Section 45(1) of the
Environmental Protection Act 1986
provides that where one or more of the decision making authorities referred to in that section is another Minister or Ministers, the Minister for Environment is required to consult with that Minister or Ministers.

(3) I determined appeals on 13 February 2014. By section 109 of the
Protection Act 1986,
my decision is final and is not subject to appeal.
