Gruyere Gold Pipeline Project
Overview
Gold Road Resources (the Proponent) proposes to award a contract to a gas transportation provider to construct and operate the Gruyere Gas Pipeline Project (GGPP), a 220 km high pressure gas pipeline. The GGPP would then connect the Proponent’s proposed Gruyere Gold Project mine to the existing Eastern Goldfields Gas Pipeline south of Laverton and would be used to power mine site operations.
The GGPP proposal involves the construction of a high pressure gas pipeline and associated infrastructure and would result in the clearing of up to 605 ha of vegetation, of which a large proportion would be rehabilitated due to the pipeline being buried underground.
Why your views matter
At this initial stage of the EIA process, comment is simply sought on whether or not the EPA should assess a proposal and, if so, what level of assessment is considered appropriate.
The following diagram shows the stage this referral is at:
What happens next
Following the seven day public comment period and consideration of any comments received, the EPA will decide whether or not this proposal requires environmental impact assessment and, if so, what level of assessment will be applied.
The Chairman's decisions on level of assessment are released each Monday on the EPA's website.
