We want your input

Community consultation plays an important role in shaping these projects. We welcome all feedback and suggestions as we go through the formal environmental and cultural assessment process.

Traditional Owners and the broader community are being engaged throughout the process, so these projects not only deliver environmental, socioeconomic and community outcomes, but also respect cultural values.

The format of this engagement depends on COVID-19 restrictions, but proposed activities include face-to-face engagement with key interest groups, community information sessions, community and stakeholder presentations and site visits.

EES and ER engagement

As part of the environment assessment process, we have developed four consultation plans setting out our planned engagement approach and activities.

Download the consultation plan addendum to see specific opportunities to get involved over the next few months across all project sites. This addendum will be updated as needed.

The scoping requirements are now online and can be downloaded from the VMFRP library.

The scoping requirements were developed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and set out the matters to be investigated and documented during the EES/ER process. The scoping requirements also address impacts related to Commonwealth approvals under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
