We worked with State and Federal environmental agencies throughout the planning process for Montario Quarter.
The WA Environmental Protection Authority assessed the Improvement Scheme resulting in a ‘scheme not assessed (with advice)’ outcome, meaning that the EPA considers that the scheme amendment is unlikely to have a significant effect on the environment and did not warrant formal assessment under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act.
We also self-referred the Improvement Scheme for Federal approval under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999, which determined this was not a controlled action. This decision means that there is not likely to be a significant impact and therefore has approval to proceed under the EPBC Act.
