EIA Improvement Project

Please email EIAproject@planning.nsw.gov.au if you are interested in attending our evening Muswellbrook information session.

The Department recognises that there are opportunities to improve Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for State Significant projects. A Guidance Series has been developed and is on exhibition for your comment up until 1 September 2017.

As part of the new guidelines proponents are being asked to implement a range of initiatives including earlier and better engagement with the community, ensuring that the EIA focusses on the most important issues, providing more information about project change processes following approval and greater accountability for those preparing EIS’s.

We are inviting you to comment on nine documents on exhibition. They outline different elements of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for State significant projects in NSW and can be found at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/EIAreview

To participate in a workshop to get more information and share your views, register to participate at one of the locations below. Note that all sessions will offer similar information and that registration is essential.
