Environmental Assessment

Ariadne is working with a team of specialist consultants to undertake a comprehensive environmental impact assessment to inform detailed design and finalise the project application.  The results of the environmental impact studies will be documented in an environment assessment report and will be submitted to the NSW Department of Planning to support the project application.

In response to requirements set down for the project by the Director General of Planning, Ariadne is currently finalising a number of technical studies to understand the potential environmental impact and to identify appropriate management and mitigation measures for:

• Traffic flow, access to and from the site, including road capacity and parking requirements
• Heritage impacts, including Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal
• Flora and fauna impacts, including aquatic systems, threatened populations and endangered species
• Socio-economic impacts
• Coastal processes
• Water quality impacts
• Visual impacts and urban / landscaping amenity
• Noise and vibration issues
• Air quality issues
• Land use impacts
• Potential environmental and safety hazards
• Greenhouse gas emissions and climate change issues
• Construction and operational issues.

All required technical studies are currently underway.  Electronic copies of all studies will be loaded onto this website once they are finalised.
