A panel hearing was conducted between 11 October and 7 November
This provided an opportunity for those who made submissions on the EES or planning applications to be heard at the hearing. Following conclusion of the hearing, the inquiry will submit its report to the Minister to inform the Minister’s assessment for the project. The Minister for Planning will conclude the EES process by issuing a written assessment of the project’s environmental impacts under the EE Act. The minister’s assessment is not an approval in its own right, but will recommend whether the project’s environmental effects are acceptable, and may set out modifications or further management measures that the Minister thinks are appropriate.
