The EIS outlines how Illabo to Stockinbingal will impact the environment and how the impacts will be avoided, minimised or offset. The NSW DPHI has published its decision and reasonings online, available to view on the Major Projects website.
The project is now under Commonwealth assessment under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Major construction will not commence until Federal Government approval has been granted.
