We have prepared a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) document guided by the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation, 2021. The REF looks at all the potential benefits and environmental impacts of the project during construction and also looks ahead to its operational impacts. It includes:
• the background of the project
• proposed construction activities, including work locations
assessment of environmental impacts including:
- soil impacts related to ground disturbance
- water impacts related to groundwater extraction and works above/near waterways
- biodiversity impacts from vegetation disturbance
- noise and vibration impacts from plant, equipment, and vehicles
- traffic and access changes.
The REF also recommends measures to minimise or manage potential impacts during construction and operation of the new pipeline.
How can I have my say?
The REF document is on public display from Tuesday 21 November until Monday 18 December.
During the display period, you are invited to make a written submission by email to thornleighIOM@sydneywater.com.au.
We will also be hosting two community information sessions where you can meet the project team to find out more.
