Notice of undertaking a permitted activity related to fish passage affected by structures
The National Environmental Standards for Freshwater (NES-F) regulate structures affecting the passage of fish within rivers or areas connected by water.
When you need to provide the NES-F notice
The placement, use, alteration, extension, or construction of a structure in, on, over or under the bed of any river or connected area may be a permitted activity if it complies with the NES-F.
A permitted activity notice is required for any of the following structures:
- culverts
- weirs
- flap gates (passive and non-passive)
- dams
- river or stream fords
- aprons and ramps.
Fish passage refers to the ability of fish to move unobstructed through waterways.
How to provide the NES-F notice
Notice needs to be provided by the person(s) or company carrying out the work within 20 working days after the activity has been completed.
Email the completed notice and any supporting documents to
