The EIS is a complete document and includes a Specialist Consultants Study Compendium. The EIS will receive a compulsory adequacy review by Department staff and other relevant government agencies as a condition to formal acceptance and public availability. The EIS is expected to go on public exhibition sometime in late May or early June 2016. At that time an executive summary of the EIS will also be made available on the Registrant’s website for download.
