Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA).

Following the public comment period the proponent was required by the Board to prepare a EER Supplement to address issues raised in public and government agency consultation
Environmental Effects Report
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 impacts of the proposal.
