Marinus Link has prepared a Commonwealth Environmental Impact Assessment (EIS) and a Victorian Environment Effects Statement (EES) through a coordinated process, resulting in a combined EIS/EES addressing the requirements of Commonwealth and Victorian legislation. 

More information regarding the environmental assessment of the project is provided on the Environmental Assessment page.

The figure below outlines the primary legislation and the relevant jurisdictions that are applicable to this EIS/EES.

EIS AddendumCommonwealth EPBC Act

Following the exhibition of the draft EIS, an Addendum has been prepared which addresses the requirements of section 104(2) of the EPBC Act including taking into account any comments received within the period for comment and provides a summary of any such comments and how these comments have been addressed.

The EIS Addendum also provides a summary of additional or updated information provided to the Victorian and Tasmanian regulators to address their assessment requirements and to respond to public submissions, where relevant.
