the Department of Planning for planning permission and a building permit for the use and operation of the
controlled plant must be submitted to and approved by the Development Applications Board prior to any use
and operation of the controlled plant in compliance with the Development and Planning Act 1974 and the
Building Act 1988. Required approvals from other appropriate Government Departments must also be secured
prior to the operation of the plant.
Please submit the completed form together with the application fees at the top right of this form per plant to
the PO Box above or to the Department of Environment & Natural Resources, Botanical Gardens, 169 South
Road, Paget DV-04. Cheques should be made payable to the Accountant General. Alternatively, payment
