We are getting ready to submit the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to the NSW Department of Planning Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI), which will take time to review before placing the EIS on public exhibition.
The project is large scale and significant which takes time to assess, study and develop. Timeframes have been adjusted as more technical and environmental work is needed.
The EIS provides a description of the project, how it will be constructed and a technical assessment of the project, including potential economic, environmental and social impacts.
It also outlines a range of mitigation measures which would be implemented to avoid, minimise and/or mitigate potential impacts to the surrounding environment and local communities during construction and operations.
The EIS aims to inform community and key stakeholders about the project in more detail and supports informed submissions as part of the planning process.
When the EIS is lodged with the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure DPHI, it will be placed on public exhibition for at least 28 days. During this time, communities and stakeholders can view the EIS on the NSW Planning Portal and make a submission to DPHI.
