Environment Effects Statement

31 January 2023

The North East Link Program has undergone an extensive and robust planning assessment process, including through an Environment Effects Statement (EES), a requirement of the Minister for Planning under the Environment Effects Act 1978.

The EES for North East Link describes the existing environment, identifies potential positive and negative effects during construction and operation and proposes ways to avoid, minimise, offset or manage any significant effects.

The EES process has concluded following the release of the Minister for Planning’s assessment of the project. View the assessment report.
