General licences

The EPA works with its licensees – around 1,500 businesses in South Australia – to reduce risks to the environment. Licences set conditions to ensure that potential impacts and risks to the environment are minimised.  

The EPA licenses 2 broad types of businesses:

• those that conduct activities considered significant to the environment
• those that work with radiation apparatus and radioactive substances.

In this section, we provide information and tools for licensees, including online payments and forms.
