220321_Glendell_Public Hearing Day 2 Transcript

The NSW Department of Planning & Environment has finalised its whole-of-government assessment of the proposed Glendell Continued Operations Project (SSD 9349 and SSD 5850 Mod 4) and it has come to the Independent Planning Commission NSW for determination.

The Minister for Planning has requested that the Commission conduct a public hearing into the carrying out of the Project prior to determining the SSD application for it.

Commissioners Dianne Leeson (Panel Chair), Professor Snow Barlow and Adrian Pilton have been appointed to consider the merits of the Project and make a determination.
They will host the public hearing from 8.30am AEDT on Friday 18 March and Monday 21 March 2022 to hear directly from community members.

(Please note: The Commission has also tentatively set aside Friday 25 March 2022 to extend the public hearing to a third day should it be necessary.)

This public hearing will be conducted remotely by electronic means with registered speakers participating via videoconference or telephone.

How to Have Your Say

If you wish to apply to speak at the public hearing, you must complete the online registration form by no later than 12pm AEDT on Monday 14 March 2022. Registered speakers will be provided information on how to join the hearing and technical assistance available to help them prepare for the hearing.

How to watch the Hearing

This public hearing will be livestreamed on the Commission’s website: www.ipcn.nsw.gov.au/livestream

In the interests of openness and transparency, we will also publish a transcript of the public hearing on the Commission’s website.

If you want to have your say on this project but cannot take part in the public hearing, you can submit your comments in writing to the Commission up to one week (seven days) after the public hearing via email, post or our online portal: www.ipcn.nsw.gov.au/have-your-say
