In April 2009, the Queensland Coordinator-General declared the Australia Pacific LNG Project “significant” under the State Development and Public Organisation Act (1971). This means that an environmental impact statement (EIS) was required.
A year of research, surveys, consultation and preparation by a large team of specialists from a broad range of fields went into preparing the Project’s Environmental Impact Statement.
The Australia Pacific LNG Environmental Impact Statement was released by the Coordinator-General on the 29th March 2010 for public comment and examination by government advisory agencies.
Some facts about our Environmental Impact Statement:
It describes the potential impacts of the project and ways to avoid, minimise or mitigate these impacts
It has just over 10,000 pages of information about the project including technical reports based on scientific studies
It is made up of five volumes plus an Executive Summary
The volumes are:
It includes modelling of the cumulative impacts of other projects, including CSG to LNG projects, in the same study area
