Tahmoor South Coal Project SSD 8445- Second Referral

The NSW Department of Planning, Industry & Environment has now finalised its whole-of-government assessment for the Tahmoor South Coal Project and provided it to the Independent Planning Commission NSW for determination.

 The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces has requested that the Commission conduct a public hearing into the carrying out of the Project prior to determining the state significant development (SSD) application for it.

As required under COVID-19 regulations, the Commission will conduct this public hearing electronically by video conference (with an option to participate by telephone).

They will host the Electronic Public Hearing on Monday 15 February and Tuesday 16 February 2021, commencing at 10am AEDT daily, to hear directly from community members. (Please note: The Commission has also tentatively set aside Wednesday 17 February 2021 to extend the public hearing to a third day should it be necessary.)
