Wastewater Discharge Licences and Approvals
Section 16 of the NT Water Act prohibits the pollution of water but allows for authorisation of waste discharge under Section 74 of the Act. This authorisation takes the form of a waste discharge licence. Waste discharge licences are regulatory instruments used to regulate the quality and quantity of wastewater created by industrial and commercial operations that are then discharged to receiving waters in the Northern Territory.
A Waste Discharge Licence may be necessary if any of the following activities generate significant amounts of wastewater that are discharged into receiving waters.
