Temporary Activity Certificate (GFB)
GFB application for facilities in the environmental permit process: document preparation, online submission and conversion to a full environmental permit.
The Temporary Activity Certificate allows a facility to operate for one year while the full environmental permit and licence file is completed. We prepare the application and convert it into the final permit in time.
Required documents
Business licence, capacity report, emission and discharge measurements, waste management plan, fire and workplace documents.
Online application
Submission through the ministry's electronic environmental permit system with e-signature by an authorised consultant.
One-year window
Within the GFB validity period, accredited measurements and the permit dossier must be completed.
Conversion to permit
We manage measurement planning, laboratory coordination and dossier submission so the permit is issued before expiry.
