A Modification report (dated November 2019) for the proposed Modification was prepared in accordance with Section 5.25 of the EP&A Act. The Modification report provided full details of the proposed changes to the Approved Project as part of the Modification and an environmental assessment of the proposed changes. During the public exhibition of the Modification report, submissions were received by DPIE. The Planning Secretary provided copies of the submissions to Transport for NSW.
