Ausgrid is the determining authority for the work under the NSW Environmental Planning & Assessment Act. As part of the approval process, we conducted an environmental assessment, known as a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) to investigate the potential environmental impacts associated with the project and identify mitigation measures.
The REF was on display from 6 to 27 November 2018.
Ausgrid encouraged further feedback from the community by email, phone or directly at a drop in information session held during this time. Printed copies of the REF were available at the High Street Library, Strathfield and at Ausgrid's office at 570 George Street, Sydney. Interested community members could also view the REF via the link on the website.
Ausgrid received one submission during the REF exhibition period. This submission has been considered and addressed in the final REF, which can be viewed in the 'Review of Environmental Factors' section below. A Consultation Report has been prepared to support the REF and provide responses to matters raised during the community engagement period. This can be viewed via the link at the bottom of this page.
