The Proposal

Fragrance Tas - Hobart (Elizabeth) Pty Ltd has proposed to excavate up to approximately 24,000 cubic metres of material at 234-250 Elizabeth Street, Hobart for the purpose of construction of a mixed use development.

The proponent has lodged a Planning Application for the entire development, including construction and use, to Hobart City Council (PLN-17-430).

The application was referred to the Board of the Environment Protection Authority (the Board) for assessment of the excavation component of the proposal, classified as a 'quarry' under Schedule 2 of the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994​ (EMPCA).

Subsequently, an Environmental Effects Report (EER) for the excavation component of the proposal was prepared for the purpose of assessment by the Board, and submitted to both the Board and Council.​

Public Exhibition of Documentation and Public Representations

A copy of the permit application and all plans and other documentation submitted with the permit application (including the DPEMP) was made available for public inspection. The public comment period is now closed.

Following the public comment period, the proponent was required by the Board to prepare an 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.

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.
