Before lodging your application:

The Queensland Government is making changes to the way you lodge environmental authority (EA) applications.
From 8 December 2018, coal and mineral EA applications will no longer be accepted via MyMinesOnline and must be lodged directly with the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation.
