Preparing the Draft Environmental Impact Statement

​

DHA is now preparing the draft EIS based on the amended masterplan and as guided by DCCEEW.

​

Technical specialists are currently undertaking investigations across a range of disciplines to assess, manage and mitigate the potential impacts of the proposed development, including in relation to native flora and fauna, heritage, ground contamination, water, traffic, noise and visual amenity.

​

The draft EIS is estimated to be completed in early 2025 and will then be published by DCCEEW.

​

The public will have the opportunity to make submissions during the public exhibition period.

​

Community and stakeholder engagement

​

Since 2020, extensive community and stakeholder consultation has been undertaken in relation to the proposed masterplan for Lawson North and DHA continues to communicate with interested parties.

​

Further engagement is currently being undertaken by technical specialists as part of their investigations and as required by DCCEEW. This includes engagement with Registered Aboriginal Organisations, former Defence personnel and residents and businesses located in neighbouring suburbs.

​

DHA will provide updates on the website as the draft EIS progresses, including notification of public exhibition.

​

The feedback we received in 2021 was largely consistent with the 2020 consultation process and has been synthesised into four main themes. These are: Environment and Wildlife, Community, Amenity and Sustainability, General Feedback and Comments and Access and Egress.

How can I stay informed?
