A Revised Supporting Document (RSD) has been prepared by Kimberley Technology Solutions Pty Ltd in accordance with Environmental Protection Authority procedures and is released for public review. 

The Level of Assessment was set at Referral Information with Additional Information (4 weeks public review).

  • the EPA’s assessment to align with the Commonwealth accredited process.
