Next Steps: An updated Planning Proposal (PP) document is being prepared. The revised PP will be forwarded to the NSW Department of Planning & Environment to request a Gateway extension for additional time to re-exhibit and finalise the PP. Provided a Gateway extension is granted, this webpage will be updated, documents for exhibition will be prepared and the revised PP will be re-exhibited as soon as practical. The Biodiversity Certification Application (BCA) and updated BCAR will also be re-exhibited concurrently with the PP. To encourage and assist with community engagement, this webpage will be maintained throughout the re-exhibition process and beyond to provide an electronic platform for the making of submissions and future project updates.
