Many types of large-scale development proposals (e.g. crude oil refineries, certain waste disposal installations, certain transport projects and intensive livestock installations) will require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
A list of development proposals for which an EIA must be carried out (i.e. EIA Schedule 1 projects) can be found
here

Select
Schedule 1 developments
EIA Schedule 2 developments
Some development proposals (e.g. intensive fish farms, large pig and poultry units, mineral extraction, wind farms and hydroelectric installations) may require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
A list of development proposals for which an EIA may be required (i.e. EIA Schedule 2 projects) can be found
