Project update
We've lodged the Hunter Transmission Project Submissions Report and Amendment Report with the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.
The project is now in the NSW Government’s independent assessment phase. The HTP Submissions Report explains what was raised during exhibition of the environmental impact statement and how feedback was considered. Lodgement does not mean approval.
The HTP Amendment Report documents the proposed amendments and refinements to the exhibited project. These were developed in response to community, government and stakeholder engagement, and the ongoing development of the project’s design and construction methodology. Most of the project alignment remains unchanged from what was exhibited.
