Campsites and golf courses including ancillary facilities — construction — authorisation by the nature conservation authority
General information
The Salzburg Nature Conservation Act (Salzburger Naturschutzgesetz) aims to protect and preserve the natural environment and the cultivated landscape shaped by humans. Interference with nature is subject to authorisation by the nature conservation authority in accordance with Section 25 of the Salzburg Nature Conservation Act. In so far as a project is carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Nature Conservation Act, specific care must be taken during the project planning and implementation to avoid damage to nature; however, if this is not possible, any unavoidable damage to nature must be kept to a minimum and extensively offset by other measures.
Requirements
Authorisation to build a campsite must be sought from the District Authority (Bezirkshauptmannschaft). The provisions of the Nature Conservation Act are taken into account in this procedure.
Required documents
- name and address of the applicant and of the landowner, if the applicant is not the same person as the landowner;
- information on whether the project is planned in a protected area, and information on the protected area in question;
- identification of the plots of land, the cadastral district and the municipality in which the project is planned;
- type of project, type of crop and land use designation of the plot on which the project is planned;
- information on existing authorisations, rights or procedures initiated under other legislation that may be taken into account for the project (building permit, etc.);
- for certain measures, compliance of the project with the requirements of land-use planning;
- the written consent of the landowners or other persons entitled to dispose of the project applied for, if they are not themselves applicants;
- within a period to be determined by the authority, the possibility under private law of implementing administrative requirements (e.g. restrictions, offsetting measures) or landscape preservation plans.
Simplified procedure:
- a description of the project;
- the names and addresses of the manager(s) of the project and of the landowner(s);
- where applicable, the written consent of the landowners;
- the identification of the plots of land covered by the project (municipality, cadastral district, parcel number).
The nature conservation authority may dispense with any of the particulars and documents referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 if these are not relevant to the assessment of the project; it may request the production of further documents and evidence to the extent necessary for the assessment of the project.

Means of redress or appeal
Decisions may be appealed. The appeal must be filed in writing within four weeks with the authority that issued the decision. The time limit begins with the delivery of the written copy or, in the case of an oral announcement, with the latter.
The appeal must also indicate the decision against which it is directed and specify the authority in question, the grounds on which the allegation of infringement is based, the form of order sought, and the information required in order to assess whether the appeal has been filed in good time. If, after the notification or announcement of the decision, the party expressly drops the appeal, the latter is no longer admissible.
Moreover, all decisions must contain instructions on the right of appeal, including information on the authority with which the appeal must be filed and the corresponding deadline.
