Director-General
“Director-General” means the Director‑General of Environmental Protection appointed under section 3(1);
Subject to section 33F, the Director-General may —
if the plans of the controlled works comply with the pollution control requirements (except any requirements that have been waived in the particular case by the Director-General), approve the application and issue a clearance certificate, with or without conditions;
give a written direction to the developer to comply with any requirement that the Director-General may specify for the purpose of ensuring that all or any of the plans submitted to him or her comply with specified pollution control requirements; or
disapprove the application.
If a direction given by the Director-General under subsection (2)(b) is not complied with within the period specified in that direction, or such further period as may be allowed by the Director-General, the application is, at the end of that period, deemed to be disapproved by the Director-General.
