Border to Gowrie project update May 2021
This month saw the close of the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) public consultation period on 4 May 2021. Submissions are now being assessed by the Queensland Coordinator-General (CG).
May 31, 2021
The project’s draft EIS was released for public notification and comment by the CG on Saturday 23 January 2021 and closed on Tuesday 4 May 2021.
During this time, the community and key stakeholders were invited to view and make a submission to the CG on the draft EIS.
The CG will now evaluate the draft EIS against public submissions and feedback from advisory agencies.
If deemed adequate, the CG will accept the EIS as final and release the evaluation report stating recommendations and conditions of approval. However, the CG may request further information be addressed by ARTC in a revised draft EIS for consideration.
You can view the draft EIS online at statedevelopment.qld.gov.au/inlandrail-b2g
