Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA).
The purpose of the EER is to provide a source of information upon which interested individuals, groups, government agencies and the Board may consider the environmental and planning impacts of the proposal.
The EER was prepared by the proponent on the basis of the project specific guidelines for preparation of an EER which were provided by the Board.
Public Exhibition of Documentation and Public Representations
