Overview
Securing planning approval and EPA licensing of your new infrastructure project - recent case studies.
Dr Mark Jackson, Jackson Environment & Planning
Details
Record levels of NSW Government investment in waste and recycling infrastructure over the past four years has brought forward more than 68 projects with a total estimated capital value of at least $243M. Whilst many of these development projects are under construction or have recently been completed, many of the larger projects are facing significant delays due to the requirement for extensive planning assessment and EPA licensing. We will highlight some of the common pitfalls that proponents and developers can fall into when commencing the planning and investigation phase for a development project. Case studies presented will highlight that with good due diligence, pre-planning and consultation, the development pathway and EPA licensing of a waste or recycling infrastructure project can be streamlined.
