On 4 November, the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) posted notification of its decision to assess the Waitsia Gas Project Stage 2 proposal and that the Chairman’s Determination was Assess – Referral Information. This means that the EPA considers MEPAU provided sufficient information to undertake the assessment when we self-referred the proposal.
As part of its decision, the EPA has requested MEPAU provide some additional information in the form of management plans. These management plans will be subject to a two-week public review. During the public review period, the EPA will make these documents available on its website. In addition, MEPAU will include a link to the management plans from our Mid-West website.
Additional information about the proposal assessment process is available on the EPA’s website.
