Public hearing notification

The NSW Department of Planning & Environment has finalised its whole-of-government assessment of the McPhillamys Gold Project (SSD-9505), and it has come to the Independent Planning Commission NSW for determination.

The Commission has allocated 6, 7 and 8 February 2023 as the new dates for the Public Hearing into the McPhillamys Gold Project, with registered speakers participating in-person at the Blayney Shire Community Centre (91 Adelaide Street, Blayney NSW 2799) or via online videoconference or telephone. The Hearing will commence at 10am each day.

Speakers who were due to speak at the postponed Public Hearing in December 2022 will be provided the same position in the speaker order across the three days. If you are not able to speak at your allocated time, please contact the Commission via [email protected] and indicate your preferred speaking time. The Commission will endeavour to schedule you to speak at your preferred time.

The Commission will also provide an opportunity to people not previously registered to speak to register for the new dates. Speaker registrations will open on the Commission’s website on Monday 9 January 2023 and close at 5pm AEDT on Monday 30 January 2023.
