Revised dates for Directions and Public Hearing

Kalbar has been advised that the Directions and Public Hearing dates have been revised for the Fingerboards Mineral Sands Project. The revised dates enable an endorsed submission from East Gippsland Shire Council to be lodged with the Inquiry and Advisory Committee (IAC) after the new Council is elected. Council officers are to provide an initial submission by the close of the public exhibition period on 29 October 2020.

The revised dates are as follows:

• Directions Hearing – Monday 14 December 2020
• Hearing – week commencing Monday 1 February 2021

The timing of the Environment Effects Statement public exhibition period remains unchanged and closes at 5 pm on Thursday 29 October 2020.
