Through the EIS process, community members and stakeholders are invited to provide feedback and make formal submissions to the Department of Planning and Environment (DPE).
ARTC Inland Rail assists this process by facilitating community drop-in information sessions and other opportunities to explain the content of the draft EIS and the process for making submissions.
Following the EIS public exhibition, a written report responding to issues raised during the consultation will be made publicly available by ARTC and will be submitted to DPE and the Minister for Planning for consideration in assessing the N2NS Phase 2 project.
