Environmental Protection Authority completes Tasmanian approvals process for Marinus Link
Marinus Link Pty Ltd (MLPL) welcomes the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) today issuing its Environmental Assessment Reports (EAR) for the two Tasmanian components of the Marinus Link project – the Heybridge Shore Crossing and Heybridge Converter Station.
The EAR for the Heybridge Shore Crossing concludes that construction activities can be managed in an environmentally sustainable manner, subject to conditions.
The Heybridge Converter Station EAR has been provided to the Burnie City Council, which will include the conditions in its assessment expected in the coming months.
“This is another positive step in our environment and planning process, following our primary Commonwealth and Victorian approvals earlier in the year,” MLPL CEO Stephanie McGregor said.
“We’re mobilising our team to commence construction next year – these approvals are some of the final steps in that process,” she said.
“We thank all those who made submissions to the public consultation process, ensuring our environmental considerations are robust and with respect to communities close to the project footprint.”
