Environmental Impact Statement submissions closed

The State Significant Development Application for the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital has taken another step forward with public submissions on the Environmental Impact Statement now closed.

The NSW Department of Planning and Environment has published all submissions online and the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital project team are currently preparing a Response to Submissions Report.

The purpose of the submissions report is to give the project team an opportunity to respond to the issues raised in submissions, and to help the consent authority evaluate the merits of the project.

The completed submissions report will be published on the NSW Department of Planning and Environment planning portal.

After publishing the submissions report, the NSW Department of Planning and Environment will complete its assessment of the merits of the project in accordance with government legislation, policies and guidelines and prepare an assessment report.

Once the SSDA has been assessed and approved construction of the new hospital can commence.

You can read all the documents on the NSW Department of Planning and Environment webpage: https://www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/major-projects/projects/new-eurobodalla-regional-hospital
