Helidon to Calvert project update June 2022

As part of the Coordinated Projects process, the Queensland Coordinator-General has evaluated the Inland Rail Helidon to Calvert (H2C) project’s draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and decided a request for additional information (RFI) is required.

This means ARTC will need to submit a revised draft EIS.

The RFI feedback from the Coordinator-General is commensurate with major projects in Australia and all RFI items will be addressed by ARTC Inland Rail.

The revised draft EIS will be subject to another round of public consultation, currently anticipated in 2023.

ARTC Inland Rail is working on preparing responses to the Coordinator-General’s request for additional information – where further field studies and public consultation are required, we will conduct these to inform our responses.

ARTC is also working on preparing responses to the public submissions and these will be included in the revised draft EIS.

We look forward to working with the community and further engage on the EIS, ensuring a robust and comprehensive document is prepared for feedback.
